Milan-based game studio Milestone (of MotoGP fame) has revealed their new artificial intelligence, which will first be used in the upcoming MotoGP 19.Dubbed “A.N.N.A.”, this new A.I. was developed in conjunction with data scientists at Orobix, and is based on neural networks in order to provide a new and smarter challenge for MotoGP players.
Luisa Bixio, CEO of Milestone, commented on the announcement:
“We’re facing one of the biggest innovations in Milestone’s history. The amazing work done by our engineers, in collaboration with Orobix, it’s a great example of two independent companies innovating in an industry that is often controlled by big corporations. It’s a demonstration of creativity, passion and capacity to innovate.”
Luca Antiga, Chief Technical Officer in Orobix, also commented:
“It was exciting to work closely with Milestone engineers and designers and to see a new generation of AI evolving. It’s really motivating to know that the technology we developed for many months will be on PCs and consoles all over the world. Here in Orobix we’re already working on other applications of this technology in different industries, such as medical and manufacturer.”
MotoGP 19 arrives on the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on June 6th. For more information on the game and A.N.N.A., check out the trailer above.
