Yahoo Finance Unity Software (U) is Set to Release Generative AI Marketplace
Unity Software U recently announced that it is planning to release a generative artificial intelligence (AI) marketplace for video game developers.
Video game developers regularly spend considerable resources on building assets like sound effects and characters. With Unity’s marketplace, developers will be able to use technology like artwork generator to instantly create content.
Generative AI is trending since Open AI’s ChatGPT launch last year. ChatGPT is trending because of its human like responses and its ability to generate computer codes. After ChatGPT, many software firms have adopted AI projects to capture the game changing technology.
Unity Software recently launched a program for developers only to experience the company’s future AI offerings.
Generative AI has been available for some time now, including creators like DALL-E and Stable Diffusion. But the newer version of AI can create video games based on text prompts only.
Unity recently launched a teaser video showing how software developers can type a text like ‘add two seconds of thunder’ or ‘make them flying alien mushrooms’ and the codes will be generated rather than doing it manually from scratch.
