Zhihu Finance APP has learned that Google’s parent company Alphabet (GOOGL.US, GOOG.US) announced on Tuesday the launch of the next-generation AI world model Genie 4, which can generate more realistic interactive virtual environments in real time according to text commands, and allows users to dynamically modify scenes during exploration. The latest progress of this technology has again sparked market attention around the possibility of AI changing the mode of video game development.
