Judgment model Jev integrated into game, but outcomes unchanged

A game developer integrated a judgment model named Jev into their game, Dead Orbit, which simulates commanding an AC-130 gunship over a zombie-infested Los Angeles. Jev, developed by TypeSafe, made targeting calls based on a threat graph, aiming to improve decision-making over the game's existing hand-written rules. While Jev performed well with low latency and no integration failures, its decisions did not measurably improve game outcomes compared to the original rules, highlighting the importance of evaluating the impact of AI integration beyond just decision quality.
