Level Up: Nvidia’s GameGAN AI Creates Pac-Man Without an Underlying Game Engine

Nvidia has created the first generative network capable of creating a fully functional video game without an underlying game engine. The project was begun to test a theory: Could an AI learn how to imitate a game well enough to duplicate it, without access to any of the underlying game logic?The answer is yes, at least for a classic title like Pac-Man — and that’s an impressive leap forward in overall AI capability.GameGAN uses a type of AI known as a Generative Adversarial Network.
