Meta plans to integrate more generative AI technologies into virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality games, with the goal of enhancing its metaverse strategy. The company is looking to develop new consumer experiences and gameplay models that adapt and change with each playthrough, leveraging generative AI to create non-deterministic gaming paths. Additionally, Meta aims to build or collaborate on AI-powered tools to streamline game development and reduce time-to-market. The primary focus is on Horizon, Meta’s suite of metaverse applications and games, but there is potential for expansion to non-Meta platforms like smartphones and PCs. This initiative comes as Meta’s Reality Labs division faces challenges in achieving a breakthrough product and financial sustainability. Meta has previously demonstrated interest in generative AI with projects like Builder Bot, which allows users to create virtual environments through voice prompts. Despite significant investment in generative AI, Meta acknowledges it may take years to realize financial returns from these technologies.
