Medial
The UK government is hosting a global summit on AI governance but its flagship initiative, a voluntary global register of large AI models, seems toothless as it relies on the goodwill of US and Chinese tech giants. The summit is criticized for its narrow focus on AI-driven cataclysm, overlooking the broader risks and potential of AI technology. Many British AI experts and executives feel excluded from the event, while the government is accused of lacking domestic AI regulation and not doing enough to support its own AI industry. The summit is seen by some as a political move by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to boost his profile.

Google and Tel Aviv University researchers have developed GameNGen, an AI model that can simulate the 1993 game Doom in real-time using AI image generation techniques. The model, which functions as a limited game engine, has the potential to enable real-time video game synthesis by using AI to generate graphics on the spot. GameNGen can generate new frames of Doom gameplay at over 20 frames per second, and in tests, humans struggled to distinguish between the generated frames and actual gameplay footage. The model uses a modified version of Stable Diffusion 1.4 for image synthesis.
