🗞️ The Latest in AI: The artificial intelligence boom is helping Silicon Valley bounce back

Just a year ago a wave of layoffs swept through Silicon Valley as Big Tech stocks fell. Huge investments in AI start-ups are reversing the trend.

Venture capitalists invested over $11 billion into AI in May, an 86 percent increase from last year. Last week, AI chipmaker Nvidia reached $1 trillion in value. The company’s video game computer chips have been used for several years to train innovating AI programs.

Experts attribute the AI gold rush to the growth of generative AI, which uses algorithms trained on internet data to create text, images, and audio.

📸 Industry Spotlight: How Nvidia is making video games more lifelike with AI

Non-playable characters (NPCs) are typically irritating in video games. Game developers usually don’t commit lots of time and money to animating characters that are not central to a game’s plot. As a result, NPCs can only deliver a handful of scripted lines and tend to make games less immersive.

Nvidia just unveiled ACE For Games, a custom AI model that can bring NPCs to life with AI-powered natural language interactions. Using generative AI, the Avatar Cloud Engine (ACE), is designed to provide natural interactions that will increase the immersiveness of future games.

ACE includes three main technologies. NVIDIA NeMo is a customizable large language model that enables specific character backstories and personalities that fit a developer’s game world. NVIDIA Riva provides automatic speech recognition and text-to-speech capabilities that enable live conversations with NeMo. Lastly, NVIDIA Omniverse Audio2Face instantly creates expressive facial animation for game characters from just an audio source.

Nvidia says several companies are already integrating this technology into upcoming games. However, ACE is still imperfect in its early stages, so it will be a few years before these technologies are used more commonly.
