Ubisoft is using AI to catch bugs in games before devs make them

At the recent Ubisoft Developer Conference in Montreal, the French gaming company unveiled a new AI assistant for its developers. Dubbed Commit Assistant, the goal of the AI system is to catch bugs before they’re ever committed into code, saving developers time and reducing the number of flaws that make it into a game before release. ‘I think like many good ideas, it’s like ‘how come we didn’t think about that before?’,’ says Yves Jacquier, who heads up La Forge, Ubisoft’s R&D division in Montreal.

His department partners with local universities including McGill and Concordia to collaborate on research intended to advance the field of artificial intelligence as a whole, not just within the industry.

Simulink provides a great training environment for DRL as it allows 3rd parties like Bonsai to integrate and control simulation models from the outside. This ability is one of the basic requirements for simulation platforms to be feasible for Deep Reinforcement Learning using Bonsai AI. More requirements can be found here.

Waze famously disrupted GPS navigation by crowdsourcing user data from mobile phones, instead of purchasing costly sensors tied to city infrastructure, as Nokia had done before them. Waze then scaled with low overhead costs by using machine learning algorithms to find precise traffic patterns that optimized each user’s route. The end result of this dynamic was massive layoffs at Nokia, and Google’s acquisition of / integration with Waze in 2013.
