The new game from Niantic, the developer of Pokémon GO, takes another step towards artificial intelligence within games

Launched in early November, the new mobile game from Niantic, nicknamed Ingress Prime, it is a reboot of the first game from the developer responsible for Pokémon GO. Despite following the same idea as its predecessor, the title is distinguished by using artificial intelligence to recruit new players for factions. Understand how it works: 1e6s1

Like Pokémon GO, Ingress Prime is an augmented reality game.

In 2012 the Niantic released its first mobile game: income. Even though this has already happened about 6 years ago, the game already had, back there, augmented reality features. Yea, Pokemon GO it wasn't the developer's big test.

So much income as Ingress Prime share the same story. That is, in both games, we have the presence of Exotic Matter (XM), which is regarded as a mysterious energy present in various places in the world. Although it is not known what it does, for sure, with humans or even with the Earth itself, it is known that it generates a certain impact on events on the planet.

Furthermore, XM also caused the game world to split into two factions. The first faction of Ingress Prime, the Illuminated, advocates an in-depth study of mysterious energy on behalf of humanity. Meanwhile, the second faction, under the name of Resistance, is against any use of XM by humans.

So, we don't have the good old fight between “good” and “evil”. Instead, we can choose between two sides that present valid views and concerns. And that's where the part of artificial intelligence goes into.

ADA and JARVIS are the representatives of each faction 6m5823

ADA and JARVIS are artificial intelligences.

But then, how does artificial intelligence work within Ingress Prime? In short, the feature serves to recruit players and convince them that the Enlightened or the Resistance are the best choice.

This part of the game is seen as both a bonus for the players most involved in the game plot, as well as a way to connect the game's story with real life.

the big balcony of Ingress Prime with the use of ADA and JARVIS is: we do not see here the use of bots that push you fake news or simply interact superficially with the player. The game's AIs are much smarter than that, as they can create all kinds of propaganda in order to recruit people to their respective factions.

Recruiting is the sole purpose of ADA and JARVIS.

Based on each player's playstyle, ADA e JARVIS they learn through interactions made on their websites and later create posters, videos and even memes. However, be careful: the AIs will absorb what you teach them, and may act aggressively or become completely harmless. And this is reflected in their recruitment strategies.

According to the developers of Ingress Prime, the idea is to make players question the algorithms that surround them in real life. This theme was even used by the 2018 Enem essay test, being extremely relevant to society.

Below, you can see the trailer for the game released by Niantic. It is worth noting that it is available for both iOS how much for Android:
