Human-like agents preferred in mobile game collaboration study

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A study involving 90 participants explored human-agent collaboration within a mobile game focused on UK currency.

Findings indicated a significant preference for the more human-like agent, with a large effect size, suggesting implications for role-specific interactions and mixed-initiative dialogue in goal-oriented tasks.
