EA wants to double its global audience to over a billion people in five years! At Electronic Arts' recent Investor Day, the CEO highlighted how AI improves player experiences and unlocks new opportunities beyond traditional gaming. He said AI is "the very core" of EA's business, with over 100 novel AI projects in development. Looking ahead, EA is developing "Imagination to Creation" tools that could allow players to generate custom experiences using assets from popular franchises.

I’m working on a piece to explain the success of Gorilla Tag and Social VR - and it coincides with the death of the 3rd place (where people spend time outside of work/school & home) IRL daily social activity for youth has dropped 40% in 20yrs, from 48.4% to 29.5% attending some daily social interaction. GenZ/GenA’s 3rd place is digitally native - and they’re spending a lot of time there.

Can you tell the difference between these two videos of Doom? One of them is real - the other one is completely AI generated. Incredible break though in generative content technology.
