A new update to Call of Duty's RICOCHET Anti-Cheat system ahead of Black Ops 6 showed how Activision plans to use AI to improve its ability to catch cheaters.
Activision admits CoD cheaters won't 'go away forever', but ultimate goal is to ban them 'within 1 hour'
In the ongoing battle to better detect hackers and cheat developers constantly trying to find ways to bypass RICOCHET's security, Activision believes artificial intelligence (surprise, surprise) is an important tool in winning the war on cheating, according to a new blog post today.
"What our team has been working on for the future is a suite of tools that use AI to find and combat cheaters," Activision said. "Today, cheaters can run and hide, but there's a trail. What if that trail disappears? That's what the team has been working on."
The company believes that those developing cheats “can’t hide player behavior,” reiterating that “the way people play — the legitimate, the fake, the good and the bad — gives us information and we use that to figure out ways to remove those bad people from a lineup.”
