Description
Language Learning Models have allowed AI to grow more human-like and authoritative across all fields for which expertise can be codified in text. This makes it possible to model and provide access to that expertise via new technological channels. Specifically, Unity intends to provide access to authentic, authoritative, AI-empowered Non-Player Characters (NPCs) available 24/7 as learning aides. Our first such project is an animal behaviorist answering pet-related questions in a simulated dog park; however, we have several extended reality experiences into which we intend to deploy AI NPCs, including a whale spotting tour and a virtual forest.
