Ubisoft Adds Autonomous AI Voting Agents to Captain Laserhawk NFT Game

Gaming giant Ubisoft launched AI-powered agents within its blockchain game, Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E., that can independently vote and make governance decisions without direct player input. The feature went live this week during a presentation at the ETHCC conference in Paris.

The company partnered with French AI developer LibertAI to create “Niji Warrior” agents tied to each of the 10,000 NFTs in the Ethereum-based game. Each agent has unique traits based on its NFT's metadata, including age, profession, personality and values. These traits determine how the AI votes on game proposals.

Every AI action gets recorded on the blockchain for transparency. Players can still override their agent's decisions and submit their own proposals if they want direct control.

Didier Genevois, Ubisoft's Technical Director, explained that when players don't vote, their NFT automatically votes based on its programmed personality and provides reasons for the decision. He described this as balancing automated AI agency with human control.

LibertAI's Lead Contributor Jonathan Schemoul said the AI decisions use players' past actions and game context. The system stores memory states on Aleph Cloud to prevent tampering. He suggested that eventually these AI agents could govern the entire game world.

The governance simulator is part of a larger expansion of Captain Laserhawk, which started in December as a multiplayer shooter on Arbitrum. The text-based governance component was previewed at ETH Denver in February and combines decentralized storytelling with AI decision-making.

To address safety concerns, Ubisoft and LibertAI built filters to block inappropriate content using censored AI models suitable for younger players. Each player's AI environment operates separately to prevent problematic behavior from affecting others. This careful design, which isolates each agent's environment, reflects a deliberate strategy to avoid the controversies (such as toxic or unpredictable behavior), that have plagued other AI experiments in gaming.

The game draws from Ubisoft's Netflix animated series Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix, which itself comes from Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. The combined shooter and governance simulator explores how AI and decentralized systems can work in interactive entertainment.
