Artificial Intelligence for improving Performance??? Game Physics In Microseconds

Anyone Here paying attention to A.I development for improving performance in game engines and rendering? Here is an example from youtube channel two minute papers.

(Game Physics In Microseconds)

(Collision Simulations in Milliseconds)

(Foveated Rendering)

(AI Learns Noise Filtering For Photorealistic Videos)

(Super Resolution in Less Than a Second)

Thanks. I think those are great videos (I also follow that channel). The only thing I find is that most of that research never makes it into any games or engines. Sort of like the concept cars you see in Popular Science magazine. Super futuristic and amazing, yet they never come out.

I'd like to learn more about machine learning and the game development applications. I've read a few books, so I understand the basics, but I'm pretty far from being able to read a paper and implement the algorithm. Right now I am investigating path tracing, so the AI denoiser would be very relevant to me. Not sure I will get anywhere with it, but we'll see.

Ya the A.I denoising is the easiest to implement and is exactly how Nvidia is doing it, They integrated the A.I architecture into their Graphics Cards Hardware not just the software. But as we see because they have it integrated rather than a separate A.I only card it takes resources away from normal rendering so it still slows the FPS. Personally almost All higher complexity A.I should function from a secondary 100% dedicated Card. The Foveated Rendering is more interesting to me as when combined with High Tessellation scaling would allow for Film Quality Graphics Detail with Very little performance hit similar to cranking a Games options Full Ultra but setting Draw Distance to lowest setting to keep the FPS high, I have seen a few Demos of this exact thing were there is Zero rendering Beyond a set 5 Meter Radius.
