The Simulation by Fable makes everyone Robert Ford

Fable’s Edward Saatchi, Pete Billington, Frank Carey and Jessica Shamash took to the GamesBeat Summit to talk about The Simulation. It’s a new project for Fable, a new take on AI which is moving away from the studio’s previous projects, like Lucy.

Instead of a single character, powered by AI, The Simulation is meant to be, well, a simulation. It’s an entire world, wholly simulated, which leans from players and grows almost organically. The Simulation’s ultimate goal, aside from being a fun experience, is to realize a full artificial general intelligence.
