Episode notes

The thing that is super clear is that there's going to be a lot of energy put into continued evolution of AI-specific silicon. I think on core RAM, probably, it probably will end up helping drive additional increases there. And then what's also cool is you can start to imagine those experiences being able to interact with each other over time. Yeah, it sounds amazing. So excited for this collaboration.

Hosts Andrew Kim and Nicholas Grous venture into the world of artificial intelligence (AI) in the gaming sector with Marc Whitten, the President of Create at Unity. They discuss AI’s role in creating vivid, immersive 3D experiences. Marc gives them a behind-the-scenes look at the complexities and opportunities involved in deploying AI for content creation in games. They also explore Unity’s mission to make game design accessible to all. The conversation doesn’t stop at gaming; they also cast a wider look at how real-time 3D technology is making waves across various industries. So join Andrew, Nicholas, and Marc on this insightful journey where they blend technology, creativity, and gaming into a captivating exploration.
