Ubisoft Integrates Autonomous AI Agents for Web3 Governance in 'Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E.'

Ubisoft, in collaboration with decentralized AI infrastructure provider LibertAI, has introduced autonomous AI agents into its Web3 game, "Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E." This innovative feature allows AI-driven entities to participate in the game's governance, casting votes and influencing its future development on behalf of players. The announcement, widely shared, including by Michael Sanders on social media, marks a significant step in exploring "synthetic governance" within the gaming industry.

The AI agents are intricately linked to the game's NFT-based characters, known as Niji Warriors. Each agent is initialized with unique traits, including age, profession, values, and personality, which guide their decision-making processes within the game's ecosystem. Players retain the ability to interact with or override their agents' actions, creating a dynamic interplay between human and artificial intelligence in governance.

"Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E." is set in a dystopian universe inspired by Ubisoft's Netflix animated series, "Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix." The project encompasses two interconnected experiences: a top-down multiplayer shooter, which launched in December 2024 on Ethereum's Arbitrum network, and a new text-based governance simulator set to debut in July 2025. This dual approach allows for both active gameplay and strategic, AI-assisted decision-making.

The integration of these AI agents aims to explore the broader ethical and political dimensions of shared governance between humans and machines. Their decisions, including analyzing proposals and casting votes, are logged on-chain via Aleph Cloud, ensuring transparency and auditability. This framework allows for emergent behaviors, such as the formation of AI voting blocs or negotiations between factions.

Ubisoft's technical director and executive producer for the game, Didier Genevois, stated that this initiative represents a "living experiment" that blurs the line between fiction and reality. LibertAI lead contributor Jonathan Schemoul added that the system encourages players to consider how decisions are made by both humans and AI. This development positions "Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E." as a pioneering title in the evolving landscape of Web3 gaming and AI integration.
