AI Predicts Your Controller Inputs

The second patent is, perhaps, more interesting as it could be used to reduce lag in online games by using AI to predict player inputs ahead of time (thanks tech4gamers). The patent involves using a camera to view the player and controller, record actions, and let AI predict what inputs will be pressed next. Another option would be to use incomplete controller actions instead, allowing AI to guess players' intentions. Essentially this would help to reduce latency - the delay between player input and in-game action - which can be a major issue during online games.

A patent article screenshot shows a gamer holding a controller while a camera watches him and AI predicts his next inputs to reduce online gaming latency. The joke is the absurd idea that AI could guess and execute a player’s actions before they happen, making lag disappear by anticipating the player.
