Does Trust Spill Over: Exploring Asymmetric Trust Dynamics Between Teammate AI and Guide AI
Does Trust Spill Over?: Exploring Asymmetric Trust Between Teammate AI and Guide AI in Cooperative Games SOTA IKEJIMA,The University of Tokyo, Japan RYO OHARA,The University of Tokyo, Japan YUSUKE KOSEKI, The University of Tokyo, Japan TAKUJI NARUMI, The University of Tokyo, Japan HIDEAKI KUZUOKA, The University of Tokyo, Japan…
- Trust in multi-agent AI systems is asymmetric: a teammate AI’s performance significantly influences trust in a secondary guide AI, but the guide AI’s accuracy has no reciprocal impact on trust in the teammate.
- The teammate AI’s performance is the primary driver of overall user experience, with high-ability teammates significantly increasing user ratings for competence, autonomy, presence, and relatedness.
- Negative trust spillover occurs when errors in a guide AI’s advice lead users to doubt the predictability and competence of the teammate AI, creating a 'chain reaction' of mistrust.
Finite Automata Extraction: Low-data World Models as Programs from Gameplay Video
Finite Automata Extraction (FAE) provides a neuro-symbolic framework for synthesizing executable world models from minimal gameplay video data.

- FAE demonstrates superior precision in environment modeling compared to established neural baselines like GameGAN when tested on classic titles such as Pac-Man and River Raid.
- The framework enables rapid design iteration and reverse-engineering of game engines by extracting a comprehensive sprite dictionary and formalizing game mechanics into structured, editable programs.

Raising Money A Perspective from Both Sides | Develop:Brighton 2024
Securing capital in the UK games industry requires a strategic alignment between a studio’s long-term vision and the specific motivations of potential backers.
- A successful pitch requires a compelling 20-second hook; if you cannot capture an investor's interest in that timeframe, you will not succeed in a longer meeting.
- Venture capitalists prioritize companies with the potential for 100x returns, making them unsuitable for stable, profitable businesses like those focused on licensed IP, which are better suited for private equity.
- When applying for government grants, you must appeal to 100% of the audience to avoid rejection, whereas VC pitching requires a polarizing approach where 90% of investors can dislike your idea as long as the remaining 10% are fully committed.
