has unveiled new research highlighting an AI agent that's able to carry out a swath of tasks in 3D games it hasn't seen before. The team has long been experimenting with AI models that can win in the likes of. Now, for the first time, according to DeepMind, an AI agent has shown it's able to understand a wide range of gaming worlds and carry out tasks within them based on natural-language instructions.) to train the Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent on nine games.
The researchers say SIMA doesn't need a game's source code or API access — it works on commercial versions of a game. It also needs just two inputs: what's shown on screen and directions from the user. Since it uses the same keyboard and mouse input method as a human, DeepMind claims SIMA can operate in nearly any virtual environment.
In terms of performance, SIMA fared well based on a number of training criteria. The researchers trained the agent in one game and got it to play that same title, using that as a baseline for performance.
