索尼互動娛樂（SIE）近日在最新財報說明會上，正式揭開了PlayStation面向未來的AI技術發展路徑。索尼明確表示，AI已成為其應對不斷攀升的3A遊戲開發成本、降低創作門檻的關鍵破局手段。
Sony's statement on how AI 'evolves the PlayStation experience' "As AI lowers barriers to creation and increases the volume and diversity of content, the PlayStation platform and studios are expected to remain critical in delivering high quality experiences and helping players discover the right content in an increasingly crowded landscape" "Within the studio business, AI powered tools are automating repetitive workflows and improving productivity across areas such as software development, quality assurance, 3D modeling, and animation, allowing production teams to focus on building richer worlds and gameplay experiences" "Across the platform business, AI is driving efficiency, personalization, and customer value at scale, while continued investments in AI and machine learning are expected to push visual fidelity forward and deliver higher quality player experiences" "Overall, AI is expected to unleash the creativity of Sony Interactive Entertainment’s studios, power a more curated and consumer-centric platform, and enhance the PlayStation experience, supported by its global player base, deep IP library, and integrated ecosystem"
在具體落地層面，索尼展示了內部自研的「Mockingbird」等AI工具。這些工具能基於動作捕捉數據，在不到一秒內完成原本需數小時的面部動畫製作，甚至能通過影片素材自動生成精細的3D髮絲模型，大幅提升了軟體工程和3D資產製作的效率。此外，索尼還公布了「AI生成幽靈玩家」等前沿專利，旨在通過實時演算為玩家提供個性化通關輔助，並致力於開發擁有獨立個性與行為邏輯的AI NPC，以構建更具生命力的動態遊戲世界。索尼高層強調，AI的使命是作為「人類想像力的放大器」來增強創作者的能力邊界，而非取代人類的核心創意。
