Polyphony Digital Helps New AI Deep Learning Study Using Gran Turismo

A new paper posted to the arXiv research repository has demonstrated the possibility of teaching AI how to race in Gran Turismo using only the same visual cues as human drivers.

The research, conducted by Sony AI -- a recently created subsidiary of Sony to study applications for AI -- follows up

Great news for people like me who prefer to race the campaign. GT AI is in for a HUGE upgrade it would seem.

"Oh, dear God. The AI has figured out the bumper car technique, and has become obsessed with running players off the road."
- Kazunori Yamauchi, producer of the Gran Turismo series

You're thinking of the human players. The AI has at least a little class.

@Magog

Realistically, they wouldn't actually use the results where the AI was using the bumper technique to save time in laps, but it is a viable tactic so it's likely something that popped up in the results repeatedly. haha.

With deep learning, the results are more human-like if you have a good training set, and all the stimuli provided in these experiments are "more-or-less the same cues as a human player" because the study was about driving at human speeds, unlike their previous study.

This ain't your dad's GT AI. "The visual learning AI quickly beat the lap times generated by GT Sport‘s own AI" by the time it had ran around 350-500 laps. I'm wondering if any of this will actually be in GT7 at launch.

From what I can see on Youtube, as well as the steam page for other games that developer has released they all look like low quality slop that shouldn't exist on any console or storefront.

PRIMORDUS13d ago

Gran Carismo sounded dumb to begin with 😂Grand Car Racing is a much better name.

Cacabunga13d ago

Totally dumb. Like a troll name.
It reminded me of Project Cars. The game was good but the name didn’t do it justice

jambola11d ago

shame only a name change because Sony doesn't give the slightest bit of a shit about the quality of the store

...I'd rather they bring back PS Home. Then everyone could be in a game.

That's what I thought this was initially, but unfortunately it isn't.

Just another way for a Multi- billion dollar company to basically steal normal people's likeness for free to be used indefinitely without compensation. Yes, sign your likeness over for free to be used forever and never benefit as they make billions from all you idiots. Not too mention if by some unlikely chance you become famous they already own your likeness you'll have to pay they to use your own likeness anywhere else for profit. So yeah, go ahead and sign up people and don't read the fine print like most people don't do already.

Making generative AI a community effort to avoid some of the criticism and to ease their audience into it, very smart Sony.

StoneTitan22d ago

You get invited to their scanning stufio and get a full scan. How is that gen AI :D

Christopher22d ago

Are they the biggest fans or just someone who got lucky and is presentable to the public? I really hate these marketing ploys, they don't really aim to attract what they say but what they want to sell the game.

jznrpg22d ago

I don’t want to be known to the public so I’ll pass
