Roblox reveals more details about its work on 4D generative AI

Roblox today revealed more details about its work on AI tools, in particular its moves towards creating 4D generative AI. According to the company’s announcement, the fourth dimension of generative AI is interaction, meaning it’s working on AI creations that can interact dynamically with the world in which they exist. This would allow game developers to set the state for unscripted interactions within the world.

Morgan McGuire, Roblox’s chief scientist, describes the current state of the company’s creation tools in a blog post, “The power of Roblox’s online platform is interaction — between people, objects, and environments. Unlike traditional online video games, Roblox’s powerful runtime engine leverages a unique programming and simulation model focused on interaction. This model is inspired by the concept of a metaverse, where elements meet in complex, many-to-many, and spontaneous ways, rather than in proscribed and limited ways.”
