Muse is Microsoft's AI angle on video game production, one that already creates more questions than examples of use cases.

Microsoft views the Muse AI model more as a tool for game preservation and concept brainstorming than a way to replace human-made video games.

Microsoft Research and Ninja Theory teamed up to build Muse, a generative AI model capable of generating gameplay.

Microsoft Corp. unveiled artificial intelligence tools that can create video-game scenes that would normally have to be programmed and animated by a human, a model it built using data collected from Xbox gamers and their controllers.

Microsoft debuts Muse, a world and human action model that uses generative AI to put together gameplay snippets.

Microsoft thinks its new Muse AI technology could be the key for permanent games preservation and allow older classics to be playable on any platform.

Despite a decade of AI growth, Cook says, there's no method yet to measure what exactly an AI model has captured and what it has not. Muse is able to provide grainy gifs of one fairly simple video game based on seven years of footage, but it is not a solution for holding everything about a game or every possible outcome of what players could do.

Microsoft says it will not mandate or force its first-party game creatives to utilize its new generative AI tools, including Muse and its real-time model.
