Sony AI x Polyphony Digital Race Together - Message

*English Hello everyone. Today, I’m very excited to share the announcement of Sony AI’s new game AI agent - Gran Turismo Sophy. We established Sony AI in April 2020 as a fundamental research and development organization to accelerate Sony’s transformation into an AI powered, creative entertainment company. Over the past two years, researchers and engineers at Sony AI have been working closely with Polyphony Digital, the creators of Gran Turismo, and with the cloud gaming team at Sony Interactive Entertainment. Together they created a superhuman AI agent that can race competitively against the top human Gran Turismo drivers. This group collaboration, which is featured on the cover of the latest edition of Nature, is truly unique to Sony. With Sony being a creative entertainment company, we built this game AI agent for gamers. I’m also enthusiastic about this project because it demonstrates the potential for us to effectively utilize the PlayStation cloud gaming infrastructure for mass scale AI training purpo
