AI summary

An artificial intelligence (AI) parameter configuration method for a racing AI model performed by an AI parameter configuration device is provided. A first parameter set including m sets of AI parameters is obtained. Each of the m sets of AI parameters is used by the racing AI model to travel on a track. The racing AI model is controlled to undergo an adaptation degree test according to each of the m sets of AI parameters to obtain m adaptation degrees. The m adaptation degrees are positively correlated with travel distances of the racing AI model on the track according to the m sets of AI parameters. A second parameter set is generated according to the first parameter set in a case that all the m adaptation degrees are less than an adaptation degree threshold. In a case that a target adaptation degree in the m adaptation degrees is greater than the adaptation degree threshold, an AI parameter corresponding to the target adaptation degree is configured as a target AI parameter.
