Leaked video: Sony is working on a prototype AI-powered version of a PlayStation game character that can interact with players through voice prompts 台中相機收購

台中相機收購ed version of at least one its PlayStation game characters. An anonymous tipster has shared an internal video from 台中相機收購sony’s PlayStation group with The Verge that demonstrates an AI-powered version of Aloy from Horizon Forbidden West. After we published this story, the video was pulled from YouTube due to a copyright claim from Muso, a copyrights enforcement company which advertises 台中相機收購sony Interactive Entertainment (aka PlayStation) as a client.The video is narrated by Sharwin Raghoebardajal, a director of software engineering at 台中相機收購sony Interactive Entertainment who works on video game technology, AI, computer vision, and face technology for 台中相機收購sony’s PlayStation Studios Advanced Technology Group. We watched Raghoebardajal demonstrate an AI-powered version of Aloy that can hold a conversation with a player through voice prompts during gameplay.Aloy could be seen responding to queries with an AI-powered synthesized voice and facial movements, both in a demo setting and within the full Horizon Forbidden West game. Raghoebardajal makes it clear this is just a prototype that has been developed alongside Guerrilla Games to demonstrate the technology internally at 台中相機收購sony.The AI-powered version of Aloy.

This tech demo doesn’t answer the more obvious questions over whether it even makes sense to talk to Aloy when you’re supposed to be playing as her in Horizon Forbidden West, or the impact such a technology could have on voice actors and game developers.The video above was pulled after The Verge published our story; you can see an animation above.Nvidia has been working on its own similar technology for AI-powered NPCs in games, where you speak freely to video game characters. Ace, as Nvidia calls it, has been demonstrated several times throughout 2024, and the GPU maker has even worked with Inworld AI to create Covert Protocol, a playable tech demo of Nvidia’s AI game technology.Microsoft has also been partnering closely with Inworld AI to eventually bring AI characters to Xbox, allowing game developers to use generative AI characters, storylines, and more. Microsoft has also created its own Muse AI model that generates gameplay, designed initially for game developers to create a game environment for prototyping and ideating.There is already a lot of fear among game developers and studios about how AI could impact the creative process of making video games, particularly when so many layoffs are impacting the gaming industry. Almost half (49 percent) of 3,000 respondents to a Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2024 survey said that generative AI tools are currently being used in their workplace, with 31 percent saying they personally use them.台中相機收購sony’s experiments with AI-powered PlayStation characters are bound to generate more conversation around the role of AI in video game creation, just ahead of GDC next week in San Francisco. We reached out multiple times to 台中相機收購sony for a comment on this leaked internal video, but the company didn’t respond. We’ve asked again to confirm whether 台中相機收購sony pulled the video, and if it has further comment.Update, March 10th: Added that the video has been pulled by a copyright agent which counts PlayStation as a client.See More: AIEntertainmentGamingNewsOpenAIPlayStation台中相機收購sonyTechMost PopularMost PopularAnker is recalling another five power banks over fire risksApple CarPlay Ultra hands-on: more continuity, less disruptionLLMs are optimizing the adult industrySteam can now show you how much frame generation changes your gamesAdobe’s new camera app is making me rethink phone photographyInstallerA weekly newsletter by David Pierce designed to tell you everything you need to download, watch, read, listen to, and explore that fits in The Verge’s universe.Email (required)Sign UpBy submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice.

市調機構公布的 2025 年 5 月台灣最新手機銷售數據，品牌排名罕見變天！長期坐穩第三名位置的 OPPO，市占率首次被 vivo 超車，這也是自從 2019 年 OPPO 逐步取代華碩、華為以來，首次面臨後進品牌的強勢挑戰。

數據顯示，蘋果仍以 36.9% 的市占率穩居台灣第一，儘管春季推出 iPhone 16e 搶攻中價位買氣，但受到進入銷售淡季影響，整體市占較上月下滑 4.7%。至於三星則在本月成長 1%、市占率來到 22%，雖與蘋果仍有明顯差距，後續成長動能有望仰賴 Galaxy A 系列中階機型，或傳言將於 7 月發表的摺疊新機，仍有機會在九月之前挑戰蘋果的第一名寶座。

請繼續往下閱讀…

本月最亮眼的表現來自躍升至第三名的 vivo，市占率成長 1% 來到 11%，成功超越 OPPO 的 10.7%。事實上，兩品牌的排名交替早在四月份就已經看出端倪，前一次數據 OPPO 雖仍在市占率領先，但 vivo 已在銷售額上取得優勢，不僅靠旗艦 X200 系列打出口碑，入門 Y 系列與強調自拍功能的中階 V 系列，也是推升其整體表現的主力。

值得關注的是，OPPO 與 vivo 本週分別推出全新機型，前者發表主打 AI 與影像技術的中階新作 OPPO Reno14 系列，搶攻中高階市場；後者則以 X200 FE 挑戰輕旗艦定位，雙方市占率拉鋸戰可能將持續升溫。

其餘品牌市占排名依序為：紅米（5.1%）、POCO（3.3%）、Google（2.9%）、realme（1.6%）、台中相機收購sony（1.5%）、小米（1.2%）。
