Fenris Creations, formerly CCP Games, has announced a research partnership with Google DeepMind, which will involve training AI agents on a separate version of EVE Online. Despite player skepticism towards generative AI in gaming, the partnership was met with cautious optimism at EVE FanFest, with discussions focusing on potential applications like improving the game's complex codebase and enhancing NPC interactions. Players, known for their critical feedback, seem willing to see how this collaboration unfolds, especially given Google DeepMind's history with game AI.
