Ubisoft operates La Forge, an internal AI research group that develops machine learning tools used across the game production pipeline. Confirmed tools include Clever-Commit (now Clever-Commit), an AI bug prediction system deployed on major AAA productions, and machine learning bots used for automated open-world gameplay testing. La Forge also published peer-reviewed research on AI for game balance testing, NPC navigation, and rendering.

Clever-Commit (originally called Commit-Assistant) was developed by Ubisoft La Forge in collaboration with Concordia University. It takes new code commits as input, compares them against a database of historical bugs and fixes, and produces a risk prediction and suggested fix as output. When applied to 12 Ubisoft systems in research evaluation, it detected risky commits with approximately 79% precision. A later version reporting 85% accuracy was confirmed as deployed across more than 25 Ubisoft productions globally. In 2019, Ubisoft partnered with Mozilla to further develop the tool for broader software development use. Separately, La Forge built machine learning bots used for automated open-world gameplay testing in titles like Assassin's Creed and Far Cry — these bots explore terrain, trigger mission scripts, and generate heatmaps of high-risk bug zones. Rainbow Six Siege's Defender AI Playlist, launched in 2023, uses machine learning trained on match replay data to simulate realistic player behavior for training purposes. La Forge publishes peer-reviewed research at venues including SIGGRAPH, ICLR, AAMAS, and EMNLP, and operates across studios in Canada, France, and China.
