Google Introduces Genie 3: AI Model for Creating Interactive Video Game Worlds

Image credit: Google

Google DeepMind has started releasing a new version of its AI "world" model, Genie 3. This AI model can generate 3D environments that both users and other AI agents can interact with in real time. The company has promised that users will be able to engage with these worlds for a significantly longer duration than with previous models. Genie 3 is also designed to "remember" the location of objects even when they are not in the user's line of sight. This update marks a step forward in creating more interactive and persistent virtual environments.

What are AI world models and what's new in Genie 3

World models are a type of AI system that simulates digital environments for apps needed for education, entertainment, or training AI agents. These systems generate spaces based on prompts, allowing users to move around in them like in a video game. Unlike traditional games that rely on handcrafted 3D assets, these environments are built using AI. Google has been exploring this area, with its Genie 2 model introduced last year. This AI model is capable of creating interactive worlds from an image. The company has also formed a dedicated world models team, led by Tim Brooks, a former co-lead of OpenAI's Sora video tool. However, the current capabilities of such models remain limited. For example, Genie 2 only allowed for about a minute of interaction. Another interactive video tool, developed by a startup backed by Pixar's co-founder, offered an experience that resembled a blurred version of Google Street View, with visuals that shifted unexpectedly. Genie 3 offers a few technical improvements. According to a blog post, users will be able to interact with generated environments for a few minutes, up from Genie 2's 10-20 seconds. The model can remember visual elements for about a minute, so if a user looks away and then returns to a scene, features like wall markings or writing on a chalkboard are likely to remain in place. These environments will render at 720p resolution and 24 frames per second. DeepMind is also incorporating "promptable world events" into Genie 3, which will allow users to adjust elements such as weather or add characters through written prompts. Access to Genie 3 will be restricted at launch. Google is releasing it as a limited research preview for a small group of academics and creators to study risks and refine safety measures. Current limitations include narrow interaction options and difficulty generating legible text unless it is included in the initial prompt. Google has indicated it may expand access in the coming days.

Allegations of Fraudulent Surrogacy Practices Surface at Hyderabad Fertility Clinic

HYDERABAD: Gopalapuram police have registered five new cases against the head of Srushti Fertility Clinic Dr Athaluri Namratha alias Pachipala Namratha, and others based on complaints lodged by five sets of victims. While in one case a couple alleged that the doctor handed them a baby whose DNA did not match theirs, three other couples accused the clinic of adopting dubious methods. They claimed that they had already paid the money â anywhere from Rs 12.5 lakh to Rs 19 lakh â and even deposited their biological samples when they grew suspicious about the operations of Dr Namratha and her clinic. The frauds occurred between 2019 and 2025. Cops are yet to ascertain details of the fifth case.

5 Simple Ways to Detect Spy App on Your Smartphone

In a recent ruling in a Divorce case, the Madhya Pradesh High Court held that a wife's private WhatsApp chat can be allowed to be presented as evidence under Section 14 of the Family Court Act, 1984 even if they are obtained without her permission. In this case, the husband accessed his wife's private WhatsApp chat via a special app installed on her phone (likely a spy app) without her knowledge and found out that she was having an extra-marital affair. His lawyers decided to present this as evidence in the court and seek divorce on the grounds of cruelty and adultery. The wife's lawyers challenged this move and did not want her WhatsApp chats to be presented to the court, arguing that this action by the husband violated her right to privacy under Article 21 of Constitution of India and Sections 43, 66 and 72 of the Information Technology Act. The Madhya Pradesh High Court rejected this argument and said that even though the right to privacy has been recognized as a fundamental right, the same is not absolute and is subject to exceptions and limitations.
