After Apple, Google And Amazon, Sony May Introduce Its AI Assistant

AI-voice assistants like Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri have interfaces that can make people access a variety of functions through voice or text with the help of back-end algorithms. You could make your home a smart one with the help of smart devices powered by AI assistants that’ll manage everyday chores like ordering food, playing your favourite songs, reading news and weather reports etc. Many of us are familiar with voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. It seems like Japanese technology behemoth Sony is also looking to get a voice assistant of its own. The company recently filed a patent for an in-game AI voice-assistant for PlayStation.

The AI assistant would be called PlayStation Assist and as per Daniel Ahmad, an analyst working with games market research and consulting firm NikoPartners, the voice assistant would help out players if they can’t figure out what to do in a particular situation while gaming by responding dynamically. For example, if you need help finding a health pack close by, you could ask PlayStation Assist and the location of the pack will be marked for you on the in-game map.

This in-game assistance would be made possible with the help of a back-end game assist server or a third-party AI working on a “deep learning engine”. The player query may be in the form of voice, text or video or even a combination of these.

The patent aims at improving the gaming experience of the player by enabling more immersive gaming. As per Sony, the type of information that the PlayStation Assist could help players with involves character and strategy, scheduling a time for co-op gameplay through a cloud service, getting info of friends on social media who play the same title or other games, information about how to proceed in case you get stuck somewhere in the game etc.

The patent also gives out some details about a companion mobile device that could keep a track of your stats in the game.―Times of India
