Check out the recent controversy over Activision and Call of Duty. Evidently the game code requires access to your webcam and the company has patents on using your gameplay to train a bot that play like you do, then uses the idle time to make the bot play while you are away. This bulks up the pool of players ensuring you are matched with people resulting in a good experience for you. There's also a patent detecting your emotional state while you view their in game store, possibly for adjusting price to influence you to buy or spend more.

Source?

>then uses the idle time to make the bot play while you are away

Surely they're better off using a GPU cluster to do training like every other AI company?

What if you don't have a webcam, you can't play the game? I'm skeptical.

>”There’s also a patent for detecting emotional state”

What a tragic state of affairs! Computationally detecting human emotion is an open problem in human-computer interaction, and has been for a while now. I wish I had the hubris and audacity to file a process patent which claims to be able to do so.
