The background

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27 — Google's artificial intelligence lab, Google DeepMind, introduced Genie 4 on Tuesday. The tool is a world model, a type of AI that produces virtual environments. Users can type a text prompt to create a world, then move through it with keyboard keys.

Users can also change a scene while it runs. A person can type a request, such as a new weather condition or an added character, and the environment changes. The system is designed to produce more realistic environments in real time. Technology outlets reported that the update adds audio support and gives users more control over the worlds as they play out. The technology had already unsettled investors in video game companies before this release.
