Gamers are fed up with the proliferation of artificial intelligence-powered bots they say are ruining their online multiplayer gameplay. New software could weed them out.
World, a digital identification technology startup co-founded by Sam Altman, and gaming company Razer are together launching a software application that can differentiate bots from real players in games. The product, "Razer ID verified by World ID," will authenticate players as human and give them a badge to display on their Razer gaming profile.
Advancements in AI have fueled a rise in bots that participate in group games for a variety of reasons including taking advantage of in-game economies or inflating user numbers. Human gamers say these bots ruin the fun in part by putting them at a skill disadvantage.
"We're on the brink of an AI tsunami," said Trevor Traina, the chief business officer of Tools for Humanity, a technology organization that helps develop products for World and helped organize the partnership with Razer. "This partnership helps reclaim gaming for human players."
The first game to integrate the new product will be Tokyo Beast, developed by CyberAgent, which is set to launch in the second quarter.
