Because it's hard... We've dedicated the last four years to this endeavor. Making a simple proof of concept (PoC) is easy (we've seen many), but polishing it to production level requires 1,000 times more effort where deeper complexities emerge: 1) Cost: Using LLM via API means someone has to pay for those thousands of tokens per hour per player. Yes, you can run a smaller LLM on a player's GPU (e.g., Mistral, Llama3 8b), but the quality and capabilities may not be sufficient for an engaging narrative and gameplay. 2) It's too early: GPT-3.5 is only 1.5 years old, and GPT-4 is only one year old ..read more

Today, GoodAI proudly introduces our new game: AI People Discover more on our official website: www.AIPeopleGame.com The Vision Our vision for AI People was ambitious but clear: to innovate within the gaming industry by making intelligent AI NPCs central to gameplay. We aimed to initiate a new genre of intelligent AI NPCs, just like 11 years ago, when we created the engineering genre with Space Engineers. This vision later developed into the current form: AI People is a sandbox game where you create and play scenarios with AI NPCs that interact with each other, the environment, and you! The ..read more

Olaf Witkowski's article, "Do We Have Moral Obligations to Artificial Life?"  got me thinking about the ethical implications of AI in games and the nature of our reality: 1) AI in Gaming: If we develop conscious or sentient AI NPCs, should we avoid using them in games to prevent unethical treatment?  We should NOT use living beings for our entertainment. Instead, we should aim to craft AI NPCs that appear conscious or sentient—akin to movie characters who seem real but entirely fictional. This approach respects ethical boundaries while preserving our games' narrative d ..read more

At GoodAI, we are committed to developing agents that are capable of continual and life-long learning. As part of our efforts, we have previously open-sourced the GoodAI LTM Benchmark, a suite of tests aimed to evaluate the Long-Term Memory (LTM) abilities of any conversational agent. In this benchmark, all tasks take place as part of one single very long conversation between the agent and our virtual tester. The benchmark interleaves information and probing questions from different tasks, albeit taking special care of weaving them together into a natural conversation. LTM = Long-Term Memory A ..read more

Within the next five years, every individual will have the ability to employ AI agents from the cloud. These agents will effectively serve as our AI employees and assistants, aiding in tasks where we might typically enlist the services of another person or company. The need to hire human workers may become obsolete. AI agents will be more cost-effective, loyal, and easier to communicate with, eliminating the challenges of human factors such as ego, motivation, and salary negotiations. This transformation signifies that anyone with a business idea, hobby project, vision, or passion can set thei ..read more

As part of our research efforts in continual learning, we are open-sourcing Charlie Mnemonic, the first personal assistant (LLM agent) equipped with Long-Term Memory (LTM).  At first glance, Charlie might resemble existing LLM agents like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. However, its distinctive feature is the implementation of LTM, enabling it to learn from every interaction. This includes storing and integrating user messages, assistant responses, and environmental feedback into LTM for future retrieval when relevant to the task at hand. Charlie Mnemonic employs a combination of Long-Ter ..read more

As part of our research efforts in the area of continual learning, we are open-sourcing a benchmark for testing agents’ ability to perform tasks involving the advanced use of the memory over very long conversations. Among others, we evaluate the agent’s performance on tasks that require dynamic upkeep of memories or integration of information over long periods of time. We are open-sourcing: The living GoodAI LTM Benchmark. Our LTM agents. Our experiment data and results. We show that the availability of information is a necessary, but not sufficient condition for solving these tasks. In our ..read more
