If there's one kind of AI that's most relevant to gaming, it would be the so-called 'world model.' This is a system that can learn to simulate real-world things, which might allow for 'easy' creation of realistic games. And that seems to have been on Elon Musk's mind, as his xAI has been hiring Nvidia specialists to work on just such AI models.
That's according to the Financial Times, which cites "two people familiar with the plans" and says the two new hires, Zeeshan Patel and Ethan He, have experience working on world models. Apparently, the creations are intended to help create game environments.
