Sony PlayStation to use AI for smoother frame rates in future
Sony plans to incorporate machine learning-based frame generation into future PlayStation platforms. The technology will use AI to create new frames, potentially improving image quality.
Mark Cerny, the lead architect for the PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro, has stated that machine learning frame generation technology is coming to future PlayStation platforms. The tech will allow the consoles to use artificial intelligence to generate new frames between rendered ones, which could create smoother image quality. It remains unclear whether Cerny intends to bring the technology to the PS5 Pro or a future console. Cerny had previously suggested that the PS6 wouldn’t arrive before 2027. The PS5 already uses AMD FSR3 frame generation in some games, but it lacks machine learning support.
