  • Ubisoft Teammates: A Playable AI Experiment Redefining Real-Time Voice Interactions in Games
    November 23, 2025, 3:32 AM EST. Ubisoft debuted Teammates, a playable AI research project at GDC 2024 that features Jaspar, an in-game AI voice assistant, and two NPCs, Sofia and Pablo, who respond to real-time voice commands. The experiment aims to deepen immersion by interpreting natural speech to highlight enemies, adjust settings, pause the game, or coordinate actions during an FPS-style mission. Players guide Sofia and Pablo through cover and attacks in a dystopian base as they search for missing teammates. The project, led by Gen AI Director Xavier Manzanares, Narrative Director Virginie Mosser, and Data & AI Director Rémi Labory, emphasizes context-aware interactions and testing what is possible when player voice becomes a core gameplay mechanism.
  • 26-year-old PwC AI builder laid off after hackathon win sparks automation debate
    November 23, 2025, 3:30 AM EST. At PwC, 26-year-old Donald King helped build AI agents after the firm pledged a $1 billion AI push, joining an internal AI factory and logging 60-80 hour weeks. He hosted knowledge-sharing AI agent sessions and won first place in an OpenAI hackathon. Yet the same technology that automates tasks raised questions about job security. In October 2024, days after presenting his hackathon project, King was unexpectedly laid off. He posted the moment on TikTok, drawing millions of views and fueling a debate about whether AI advances could drive further staff cuts in consulting and other sectors. The episode highlights the tension between AI innovation and workforce security.
  • Quantum and classical computing intertwined: classical infrastructure powers practical quantum machines
    November 23, 2025, 3:26 AM EST. At the AQC25 conference, researchers argued that classical computing is a critical enabler for practical quantum machines. Qubits, whether ultra-cold atoms or superconducting circuits, are fragile and need careful calibration, monitoring, and control by traditional hardware. Even when a quantum computer runs, its outputs are in quantum form and must be decoded by classical systems to be useful. Nvidia's Shane Caldwell suggested a fault-tolerant quantum computer usable for real problems will require petascale classical infrastructure, and the company has connected QPUs with GPUs to bridge the gap. Pooya Ronagh of 1Qbit highlighted that automation and speed of the classical decoders and controllers can determine overall performance, potentially making the rest of quantum hardware less critical in the near term. The AQC25 dialogue underscores the inseparability of quantum and classical computing in near-term progress.
  • Ubisoft CEO: Generative AI could be as revolutionary for games as the 3D shift
    November 23, 2025, 3:24 AM EST. Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot says generative AI is a company-wide revolution for gaming, likening it to the move from 2D to 3D. He says Ubisoft is applying Gen AI to high-value use cases to improve player experience and development efficiency, with player-facing AI and neo NPC initiatives moving from prototype to reality. AI adoption spans all studios, across programming, art and quality, as part of every team's workflow. The comments come as Ubisoft navigates AI milestones and an earnings call, underscoring a broader industry push toward AI-enhanced game creation while addressing implementation hurdles.
  • Tesla sued over 2023 Model 3 crash as Amazon layoffs hit engineers; markets edge higher
    November 23, 2025, 3:18 AM EST. US stocks rose on rate-cut optimism as Fed officials signal near-term relief. In tech business news, Tesla is being sued in Washington over a 2023 fatal Model 3 crash, with plaintiffs alleging a defective, unique door handle design left doors inoperable and slowed rescues. Tesla has not commented. Separately, Amazon's mass layoff round hit engineers hardest, with about 40% of roughly 4,700 cuts across several states, plus ripple effects in video games, advertising, and AI search. The updates highlight ongoing risks and shifts in the tech and mobility sectors.
