Sony Uses Horizons Aloy To Demonstrate New AI Tech And Its About As Impressive As Youd Expect

Sony is testing out new AI software, and it's using a beloved character--Aloy from the Horizon series--to show it off.

A YouTube video narrated by Sharwin Raghoebardajal--a software engineering director at Sony Interactive Entertainment who focuses on gaming tech, AI, and face technology for the Advanced Technology Group within Sony's PlayStation Studios--appeared online last week, giving players a look at an AI-ified version of Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West's main character, Aloy.

Raghoebardajal verbally interacts with Aloy throughout the video, starting off by greeting her and asking how she's been doing.
