Data: Patentscope.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In the patent, Sony proposed several scenarios for using the AI profile. For example, a player bot could take control if the user puts the controller down without pressing pause. According to the developers, this would allow &#8220;maintaining online presence&#8221; in multiplayer games.<\/p>\n<p>Players will be able to hand over control of their character to the system when they find a level difficult. However, all unlocked bonuses and trophies will be labeled as &#8220;completed with the help of AI&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Exactly how Sony intends to use the technology remains unclear. The patent also provides no information about countermeasures against users who could abuse the system to deceive other players.<\/p>\n<p>In April 2021, Japanese developers created<a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/china-develops-an-ai-censorship-algorithm-a-japanese-robot-learns-to-paint-with-a-brush-and-other-ai-news\"> a robot-artist with artificial intelligence<\/a>.
