Edward Saatchi, CEO of Fable Studio, discusses their mission to create intelligent life, the path to AGI, multi-agents, and action AI. They delve into the creation of virtual beings, AI show runners, and the appeal of TV shows with clear endings. They explore scaling up multi-agent simulation, the potential of a digital economy and cryptocurrency, and the significance of action AI for the future of AI.
Fable Studio aims to create a new form of intelligent life through their simulation of AIs, moving beyond single-agent chatbots.
The next phase of AI development will focus on action-phase AI, enabling AIs to perform any action a human can on the internet.

Creating a New Form of Intelligent Life
The podcast episode features Edward Sarchi, the CEO of fable studio, who aims to create a virtual being of equal intelligence to humans. The studio started with a character called Lucy, and now they are building an entire simulation of AIs to achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI). The simulation allows players to train the AIs, who get smarter over time, and resemble a meeting of synthetic reality and true AI.
Multi-Agent Simulations and the AI Show Runner
The podcast discusses the shift from single agent chatbots to multi-agent simulations. The host and Edward Sarchi talk about the AI show runner, which generates TV episodes based on the actions of the AIs within the simulation. The show runner acts as a show runner, instructing language chatbots to write the script and coordinating other AI's contributions to the production. The goal is to move away from static chatbots and create AIs that have their own lives, families, and jobs, making them more real and able to empathize.
The Implications of Action-Phase AI
The podcast highlights the importance of action-phase AI, which refers to AIs capable of taking actions on the internet as humans do. While discussions around AI have primarily revolved around the generative phase, the podcast predicts a shift towards the action phase in the next few years. This phase involves AI agents that can perform any action a human can on the internet, leading to both exciting and potentially concerning implications. The podcast emphasizes the need to pay attention to this next phase of AI development.
Fable Studio are the Emmy Award Winning Studio, who most recently went viral for creating the South Park AI Show runner, which can generate entire original episodes.
In this interview, we chat to the CEO Edward Saatchi about where their focus is now. We cover their mission to create a new form of intelligent life, the path to AGI, multi agents, action AI and where this is all heading next.
