Within the next decade, generative storytelling will account for over 60% of entertainment content. Media producers with the best AI will lead the future of entertainment. Although it seems unlikely, the role of superstar actors will diminish, replaced by synthetic characters. Not only will this happen because of technological change, but due to a shift towards increasingly niche and novel forms of experience.
The melting pot where synthetic characters (Cogs) are born and developed. Some of them will even die there.
Until today, characters only come to life for the duration of a film or game play. Cogs continue to evolve and can participate in many digital narratives, from traditional media to immersive storyscapes in the metaverse. They can even interact with members of the audience, blurring the boundaries of story and audience.
We are pioneering research in long-term shared memory for multi-agent RL, so Cogs can befriend each other as well as the audience.
