Google DeepMind partners with EVE Online for AI model testing

Google DeepMind has entered a research partnership with Fenris Creations (formerly CCP Games) focused on advancing AI understanding of complex, dynamic systems by exploring long-horizon planning, memory, and continual learning using EVE Online's environment. DeepMind will test AI models on an offline version of EVE Online running on local servers while exploring new gameplay experiences enabled by the technology. Google took a minority stake in Fenris Creations as part of this arrangement.
