I am very excited to announce the prize winners of the second round of the General AI Challenge, Solving the AI Race. The round was the first qualitative round of the Challenge and followed on from the Gradual Learning round last year.

Hello Engineers! Today, we are excited to announce the winners of our NVIDIA Ansel Contest. I can say that you submitted fantastic creations and my team and I were impressed by the quality and the creativity of the submissions.

Hello, Engineers! Now that the release of our Major Overhaul of Visuals, Audio and Wheels has been in your hands for a while now, we’ve decided that it’s time again to kick off the next contest with the new visuals as the focus. As always, we’ve been following closely the incredible things players have been up to since this update released but now is your chance to show us what you can create by harnessing the power of NVIDIA Ansel technology!

Following our previous blog post and livestream Q&A there has been some confusion surrounding our plans and the future of Space Engineers. Yesterday, I had an interview with Captain Jack who wanted to get to the bottom of some of the questions coming from the community.

While reading comments on our social media, I often see people commenting about the way we develop our games in both positive and negative ways. We are lucky to have a very passionate community but sometimes not everyone agrees with, or understands, our development process. Our vision was always to be honest with you, our players.
Because you deserve to know.

Hello Engineers! The big day is here! We are ready to announce the winners of the Space Engineers Physics & Engineering Contest.

With today’s major update, 1.186.0, we are releasing a massive overhaul of visuals, audio and wheels, together with a huge number of additional improvements to the core of Space Engineers.

Today we have launched the "Solving the AI Race" round of the General AI Challenge, where participants have the chance to win $15,000 in prizes by sending us suggestions on how to mitigate the risks of a race to transformative AI.

I would like to congratulate Ben Goertzel on raising $36 million in 60 seconds for his SingularityNET project (here and here).They recently ran a public ICO which saw all available tokens sell out in a minute. It may be publicized as an “overnight success” but knowing Ben, and following his work, I know that this success is the culmination of many years of hard work and persistence.

GoodAI and the AI Roadmap Institute have published a report from the AI Race Avoidance Workshop. In the post we have captured some of the main outcomes of the workshop, which was organized by GoodAI with the help of Araya, and took place in October after the AI and Society Symposium in Tokyo.
