From Game AI to Metaverse AI: Realistic Simulation Training as a New Development Direction for Game Artificial Intelligence

As games have evolved, the metaverse has emerged as the next stage of gaming. As an essential module of the metaverse, metaverse AI has become an increasingly popular and researched topic. The development process from game AI to metaverse AI raises questions about the development direction of AI. To investigate the relationship between the new stage of game development and the further evolution of artificial intelligence, and to explain the role of the metaverse in the development of AI, this paper analyzes the development stages and characteristics of games, summarizes the development process and structure of the metaverse, and proposes a unique game classification method to describe the mapping relationship between games and the metaverse, and to explain the similarities and differences between games and the metaverse. The paper systematically describes the current development status of AI and provides examples of the technological development and application fields of AI from game AI to metaverse AI based on the relationship between games and the metaverse. Finally, the paper analyzes and summarizes the differences and inherent reasons between the metaverse and games in the field of AI, providing a new perspective and exploration method for the relationship between games and the metaverse and suggesting the importance of the metaverse for the development of AI research. This study not only helps people to understand the characteristics and development trends of the metaverse but also promotes the development of game AI technology and provides strong support for the construction of the metaverse.
