Artificial intelligence will soon turn your dreams into video games, expert claims… – The US Sun

THE EXECUTIVE of an intelligence research lab has visions of programs intertwining with dreams.

The expectations for artificial intelligence in gaming are getting higher as chips and relevant technologies improve at a stunning pace.

Midjourney is an AI research lab that bills itself as "expanding the imaginative powers of the human species."

Their products demonstrate the many uses of AI, but CEO David Holz's vision is of programs that do more than turn words into images.

"You'll be able to buy a console with a giant AI chip and all the games will bedreams," Holz told PCGamer.

Easier said than done, but Midjourney's advisors include the CEO of the coding powerhouse Github and the creator of Second Life, one of the first encompassing virtual worlds.

"In theory, the barriers between consuming something and creating something fall away, and it becomes like liquid imagination flowing around the room," Holz continued.

Holz and Midjourney have a roadmap for taking these high-minded, philosophical applications of AI and making them real.

"Everything between now and then is a combination of increasing the quality, being able to do things like 3D, making things faster, making things higher resolution, and having smaller and smaller chips doing more and more stuff."

PCGamer's interview with Holz comes on the heels of a major breakthrough in computer chip development that could enable AI programs to be stored on locally instead of the cloud.

This would make wearables, like VR headsets used for gaming, better suited to run AI programs and taking a step toward AI doing more with a smaller footprint.

There have been flashes of terror over AI's power and Midjourney's own programs spat out a horrifying image when prompted to create the "last selfie ever taken".

Holz addressed the paranoia regarding AI and said "We're not trying to build God, we're trying to amplify the imaginative powers of the human species,"in his discussion with PCGamer.

Holz's dream-generated AI might seem like a long way off, but astechnologygets more advanced, society and industry are better equipped to improve technology faster and more drastically.

Brain-chip companies have begun human trials and Elon Musk tweeted that his brain-chip company Neuralink would have a "progress update show & tell" announcement on October 31
