Sony Patent Would Let an AI Model Train NPCs Based on Your Player Data

Sony has filed a patent titled "AI-adapted non-player character for video game system" that would use data generated by players to modify NPCs, from their design to their behavior in a boss fight, in order to make them more lifelike without further bloating development time and budgets. There is no guarantee the system will reach a PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 6, and Sony has recently patented other ideas including AI that detects console problems and delivers patches, plus a controller with an NFC card reader.
