Microsoft views the Muse AI model more as a tool for game preservation and concept brainstorming than a way to replace human-made video games.

Microsoft’s Muse is built on the World and Human Action Model (WHAM) and is intended to enhance developers’ creativity.

In a blog post, Microsoft (MSFT) said, “Today, the journal Nature is publishing our latest research, which introduces the first World and Human Action Model (WHAM). The WHAM, which we’ve named “Muse,” is a generative AI model of a video game that can generate game visuals,

Over 1 billion images and controller actions from players of Bleeding Edge were used as training data for Muse, a new genAI model from Microsoft that

Despite a decade of AI growth, Cook says, there's no method yet to measure what exactly an AI model has captured and what it has not. Muse is able to provide grainy gifs of one fairly simple video game based on seven years of footage, but it is not a solution for holding everything about a game or every possible outcome of what players could do.

Muse is Microsoft's new generative AI for game development that promises to be a gameplay concept tool – it will ideate playable ideas, building game visuals, controller inputs and more. It sounds groundbreaking but Muse feels like a tech experiment rather than the game development revolution Microsoft is pitching.

Microsoft Research has introduced Muse, a new AI model that can create controller actions and images for video games. On
