Sony Group Corp. said on Wednesday it had created an artificial intelligence agent called Gran Turismo Sophy (GT Sophy) that was able to beat world's best drivers of the PlayStation racing simulation game Gran Turismo.
To get GT Sophy ready for the game, different units of Sony brought in fundamental AI research, a hyper-realistic real world racing simulator, and infrastructure for massive scale AI training, the company said in a statement.
The AI first raced against four top Gran Turismo drivers in July, learned from the race and outperformed the human drivers in another race in October.
