Voyager AI Plays Minecraft Using GPT-4 AI Technology

Nvidia researchers have created an experimental AI program called Voyager that has become an expert at Minecraft through the use of GPT-4. Unlike humans, Voyager uses GPT-4 to learn about its surroundings and receive recommendations on what to do. It improves its performance through error messages, feedback from the game, and GPT-4 code descriptions. Voyager forms a general skill library which it can refer to in different situations. Nvidia researchers tried using the older OpenAI model, GPT-3.5, but Voyager only became an embodied agent with GPT-4. Soon, this technology could power future robots performing tasks in simulated environments that are similar to game worlds. However, Voyager’s adaptation to its environment makes it stand out from other AI systems that have excelled at automating tasks and adapting to virtual environments. Voyager AI’s versatility could turn it into a vital component for future workplace robots. It is a step forward in creating artificial general intelligence and AI that can think and behave like humans.
