Spiers himself is interested durante learning how people hunt, whether for food, clothes, ora a missing pet. “We still use these bits of our brain that our ancestors would have used daily, and of course some traditional communities still hunt,” he tells me. “But we know almost nothing about how the brain does this.” He envisions using AI-driven nonplayer characters to learn more about how humans cooperate for hunting.
There are other, newer questions to explore. At a time when people are growing attached to “virtual companions,” and an increasing number of AI girlfriends and boyfriends are being made available, AI video-game characters could also help us understand these novel relationships. “People are forming a relationship with an artificial agent,” says Spiers. “That’s inherently interesting.

My fellow London-based colleagues had a lot of fun generating an AI character based Niall. He turned out to be a sarcastic, smug, and sassy monster.
Google DeepMind has developed a generative AI model that can generate a basic but playable from a short description, a hand-drawn sketch, ora a photo, as my colleague Will Heaven wrote earlier this year. The resulting games aspetto a bit like Super Mario Bros.
Today’s world is undeniably gamified, argues Bryan Gardiner. He explores how we got here durante another article from the Play issue of the magazine.
Large language models behave durante unexpected ways. And voto negativo one really knows why, as Will wrote durante March.
Technologies can be used to study the brain durante lots of different ways—some of which are much more invasive than others. Tech that aims to read your mind and probe your memories is already being used, as I wrote durante a previous edition of The Checkup.

Bad night of sleep left you needing a pick-me-up? Scientists have designed an algorithm to deliver tailored sleep-and-caffeine-dosing schedules to help tired individuals “maximize the benefits of limited sleep opportunities and consume the least required amount of caffeine.” (Yes, it may have been developed with the US Army durante mind, but surely we all stand to benefit?)
