Using AI?
Improves gameplay realism and player engagement
Project Overview
Enhancing non-player driver behavior in Gran Turismo 7 using GT Sophy AI.
Layman's Explanation
Instead of racing against boring, robotic opponents, you now go head-to-head with AI drivers who learn from experience and drive like real people—sometimes even better.
Analogy
It’s like teaching a robot to play chess by letting it lose a thousand times—until it starts beating the grandmasters.
Details
Sony AI upgraded Gran Turismo 7’s AI opponent system by deploying GT Sophy, an advanced AI trained using reinforcement learning. This AI learns optimal driving strategies through trial and error in simulated races, ultimately creating NPC drivers that behave more like real human players. GT Sophy adapts to different tracks and player styles, offering a more dynamic, challenging, and enjoyable racing experience. The update represents a shift from scripted behavior to responsive, high-performance AI competition.
