☆ 2023 has been an AI feeding frenzy, here are the startups that attracted the most investment this year
  + stars: | 2023-12-04 | by ( Darius Rafieyan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
Despite an overall slump in startup funding, 2023 saw a scramble among investors to pour money into AI and machine learning startups. And the company's star still appears to be rising, despite a messy leadership struggle that recently spilled into public view. Meanwhile OpenAI's perennial rival Anthropic attracted multi-billion dollar investments from both Google and Amazon to fund a competing AI model known as Claude. At the same time legacy companies from John Deere to accounting firm PwC played up their AI bona fides to capitalize on the hype. The list doesn't include startups who have not publicly released the amount of their funding rounds.

AI companies will be able to distribute their software to game makers and charge for it through Unity's Asset Store. The surge in Unity's price comes as company officials have talked about the potential they see in AI in recent weeks. "I think AI will change gaming in a couple of pretty profound ways. Separately, the company was also given an overweight rating and a target price of $48 by Wells Fargo analyst Brian Fitzgerald in a note Tuesday. Before Unity started directing investor attention to AI, it was closely linked to headset efforts, such as Meta 's, because its software can be used to create virtual reality apps.

☆ In MMOs Like Old School RuneScape Scammers Use ChatGPT to Fuel Bots
  + stars: | 2023-06-20 | by ( Evan Malmgren | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +11 min
But the bots using ChatGPT began to rapidly improve, and SirPugger realized the automated players would soon become almost indistinguishable from human players. In some cases, these AI-powered bots seemed to commiserate with real players, even complaining about the overabundance of bots. At the same time, bot scripts could eventually enhance rather than detract from the social aspects of online games. Online shooters like "PUBG" and "Fortnite" already populate their multiplayer lobbies with AI bots, but the social emphasis of MMOs means that they are uniquely well positioned to reap the prospective benefits of chatbot integration. Worlds would appear to become more populous, and though "real" players might still be cheated out of leaderboard slots, they wouldn't necessarily know it.
