inZOI NPCs Use AI To Be Like Real Humans

inZOI's NPCs will leverage NVIDIA Ace AI technology for unprecedented realism and human-like interactions, creating a more immersive gaming experience. This article delves into NVIDIA Ace's role and its impact on gameplay.

A Simulated World with Free-Willed Citizens

Krafton, the developer of inZOI, utilizes NVIDIA's Ace AI to power its NPCs, known as Smart Zois. This technology generates advanced AI citizens who dynamically react to their environment and evolve based on personal experiences.

An NVIDIA GeForce YouTube video, "NVIDIA ACE | inZOI - Create Simulated Cities with Co-Playable Characters," showcases the Smart Zois' autonomy. When enabled, they actively participate in city life, pursuing individual schedules, engaging in activities like work and socializing, and influencing each other even without direct player interaction.

For instance, a kind Smart Zoi might assist others, offering food or directions, while a grateful one could actively promote a street performer, organically building an audience. The in-game "Thought" system allows players to explore the AI's motivations. Daily self-reflection by each Smart Zoi further shapes their future behavior.

The video highlights that this diverse population of Smart Zois creates a vibrant, unpredictable city, resulting in a rich, dynamic, and story-driven simulation.

inZOI launches in Early Access on March 28th, 2025, on Steam for PC. For further details, explore our other inZOI game articles.
