I'm at GDC! Tomorrow I'll be on stage with Haiyan Zhang and Kylan Gibbs, discussing AI research and innovation for game experiences: schedule.gdconf.com/session/ai-i...

And we're hiring! If you're excited about driving AI innovation with the potential to empower game creatives and unlock new kinds of player experiences - take a look at our opening here: jobs.careers.microsoft.com/global/en/jo... - This is a 2-year position for recent a PhD graduate or equivalent

The talk gives an overview of the work my colleagues and I have recently published in Nature: "World and Human Action Models towards gameplay ideation" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

What happens when we train generative AI models to predict everything that happens in a modern video game? In my TED AI talk I share insights from how AI can learn the physics of a game, and how this research could empower game creatives: www.ted.com/talks/katja_...

1/2: Empowering game creators with innovative research that could unlock groundbreaking ideas ✨ Muse - our new generative AI model done in collaboration between Xbox and Microsoft Research, is a new kind of generative AI model that’s trained on gameplay to simulate gameplay.

A paper in Nature presents a generative AI tool that could help video game designers to craft gameplay iteratively. The AI model, developed by researchers at Microsoft, generated robust 3D worlds that obeyed the mechanics of the video game they were designed for. https://go.nature.com/41mNgcG 🧪

Today in Nature: our research on world and human action models (WHAM) - generative ai models of video games, aimed towards supporting game creatives in gameplay ideation : nature.com/articles/s41... - huge congrats to everyone who made this happen, I couldn't be more proud 🥳

An exciting new internship opportunity in my team: Generative AI for Human Creativity - in the context of a multi-disciplinary internship with a fantastic set of mentors 🤩

The FATE group at @msftresearch.bsky.social NYC is accepting applications for 2025 interns. 🥳🎉

For full consideration, apply by 12/18.
