Unity cross6/23/2023 Speaking of digital twins, virtual copies of physical objects and systems, Riccitiello noted that AI could improve the way things are designed and produced in real time and for the real world. The Unity CEO believes that AI could improve both game worlds (by making them more compelling) and player interactions with those worlds (for example, by making NPCs more “intellegent” through non-scripted dialogue options). “And that applies to the game development side and the digital twin side.” “So developers will do more on our platform,” Riccitiello said. Create things that were never before possible.Create content in the Editor faster and cheaper.Riccitiello told investors that new AI features in Unity will allow developers to: Why does Unity think that AI will be beneficial to developers? The company thinks this will allow its clients to use Unity as a “data creation, simulation, and training engine for their own needs.” Training Data - training models based on datasets captured during the creation and operation of games and other real-time experiences.Unity Network (ads, analytics tools, publishing systems, etc.) - using machine learning/AI-powered services to help the company’s clients find new opportunities and growth points in these areas.creating more responsive and “real” characters) and other industries (e.g. Unity thinks a combination of Barracuda and the runtime can be applied to game development (e.g. It allows trained models to run locally on devices so that developers don’t have to worry about cloud compute costs or latency. Unity Runtime - integrating Barracuda, the company’s cross-platform neural network inference library, into the runtime.This should make the creation process more “iterative and collaborative” The company expects creators to make the first drafts for content (code, animations, physics, etc.) using the new natural language genAI tools and then edit and improve them with classic deterministic tools. Unity Editor - reducing the complexity of creation tool chains to attract more developers.So the company sees four main areas where it can benefit from AI: Unity believes that AI will accelerate its growth and profitability, expecting it to be “tailwinds for many years to come.” During an earnings call, Riccitiello also noted that Unity has “sustainable competitive advantages” in this field due to the very nature of its platform. How will AI be integrated into Unity Editor and other products? However, in its latest financial report for the quarter ended March 31, Unity went into detail about the adoption of AI tools. But other than that, details about the company’s AI plans remained unclear. artwork generator) and use it to create content. According to its description, the company is “building an open and unique AI ecosystem that will put AI-powered game development tools in the hands of millions of creators.”ĬEO John Riccitiello then told Reuters that in the future, developers will be able to visit Unity’s marketplace, select a specific AI product (e.g. Unity first teased its Unity AI initiative in March with a short video (can be seen below) and welcomed creators to join a special Beta program.
