Activision Blizzard filed<\/a> a patent application to register a technology for synthesizing music in video games using artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

According to the document, the system will be able to extract, accumulate and compute various variables to create soundtracks that match users’ tastes and specific scenarios.<\/p>\n

The generation will occur depending on the player’s skills or experience. The system also takes into account one or more events, reactions, actions, or movements of the user.<\/p>\n

The patent describes various methods of dynamic music creation. They can explore the individual player’s profile or be generated by modulating audio segments into different styles using machine learning.<\/p>\n

The developers believe the system can influence users’ successes and failures. Unique musical compositions will be generated for players with different levels of experience.<\/p>\n

For example, if the system detects that the user easily defeats a boss, the soundtrack will become more rhythmic to make the level progression more intense. Going forward, the algorithms will account for prior experience to maintain the game’s tempo.<\/p>\n

For users with low skills, the system will provide audio cues on when to attack and dodge, or will generate less intense musical accompaniment.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy automating the playback and modulation of soundtracks, a video game can become more engaging and enjoyable, and provide users with a wide range of customizable features to improve the overall experience,\u201d the patent states.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The document outlines in detail the use of the technology in multiplayer modes. However, the developers stressed that the system can also be adapted for single-player games.<\/p>\n

In February 2022, Sony unveiled an AI that defeats professional players<\/a> in the racing simulator Gran Turismo. According to the developers, the system outperforms rivals from DeepMind and OpenAI Five.<\/p>\n

In April 2021, Sony patented an AI that plays video games<\/a> instead of the user.<\/p>\n
