Anybrain Anti-Cheat

[Gog]

I wonder if Ubisoft plans to calibrate with Anybrain to develop an AI Anti-cheat for stuff like Siege down the road.

Looking at their site, Ubisoft seems to be an official partner of theirs.

Imo, AI algorithm based stuff in my opinion has huge potential for gaming, not just for an anti-cheat. You could use it for gameplay stuff too.

They also partner with police now so they can just swat the 10 year old kids

There is a problem here with AI, as there always is:

When this AI blocks all current cheating method's, which it will, the smartest people on the planet will take it up as a challenge and they will win as they always do.

By late 2024, we won't be able to tell players and bot's apart anymore. Cheaters will look and play as if they are just that good and the bots will claim to have been with your mother. At the end of it all, you won't know if it was a player, a cheater or a bot.

It will begin by steam hiding the current player counts, so you don't know if a game is populated by humans or not.

Perhaps... perhaps not. As was pointed out in Basically Homeless' video on it, AI will be able to compare play styles like a fingerprint. More than 20 people playing the exact same way would probably flag the system and get them banned.

If anything, a lack of cheaters re-buying the game will probably get the devs to tune the system to allow cheaters back, but at a less noticeable rate.

Anybrain is partenered with Ubisoft, and has now an office in Paris, close to Ubi's main offices. It's safe to assume that they are already beta testing it in Siege, or maybe a less played game like Breakpoint to see the results before a wider implementation.
To answer Setech, yes AI anti-cheat will be the next challenge for cheat developpers. But I think the only way to counter such an anti-cheat would be to make it unlearn what a legit player is or teach it that cheating is not cheating which seems not plausible.
Anyway you are correct, any innovation in anti-cheats bring innovation for cheats. Let's hope it takes them a very long time because it will take nothing but a genuis to spoof or bypass such a system.
