Open research and development initiative Ubisoft La Forge led by Executive Director Yves Jacquier has been exploring applications of machine learning in video games productions for over a decade.

AI has the potential to assist in automating the animation workflow, reducing the time and effort required by animators. A good example for that is Choreograph, a technology developed by La Forge and used in Far Cry 6, which helped create the animations in the game through an AI-driven technique known as ‘motion matching.’
