News Summary

Epic Games has announced the acquisition of Loci, an AI platform designed to automate the tagging of 3D assets. This strategic move aims to assist creators in managing the labor-intensive task of tagging, while also enhancing the detection of potential intellectual property (IP) violations. Loci’s technology, which utilizes computer vision models to understand and automatically tag 3D content, will be integrated across the Epic ecosystem, including Unreal Editor for Fortnite and Fab, the digital asset marketplace. The integration is expected to streamline content management and improve IP protection, addressing previous issues faced by Epic Games with unauthorized use of popular IP elements.
