Google has filed a patent application for a technology that allows it to test games using artificial intelligence. The new patent calls for developing a system where the AI will perform real-time game actions. This new system, called “EFFICIENT GAMEPLAY TRAINING FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE,” will create a game model for a character in a game and then train it to perform the completed actions.

Modern games are not just more complex than their predecessors, they reflect fundamental changes in how games are developed and played. Despite these fundamental changes in how games are played, the way games are tested has remained largely unchanged. As a result, testing games is a largely manual process, heavily reliant on people repeatedly playing the game and looking for flaws.

Side note: Unity and Google are expanding their partnership

The company wants to make it so that a neural network can control the characters in the tested games and make real-time decisions.
