MI-CCy Quantifier Framework Explained
The MI-CCy Quantifier assesses mixed-initiative co-creativity by evaluating two key dimensions: the influence of human and computational agents, and the seamlessness of their collaboration. It uses quantifiable scales across seven parameters.
- ✓ Agent Influence (4 parameters): Initial Setting, Initiative, Evaluation, Final Decision. Measures how equally human and AI contribute.
- ✓ Seamless Collaboration (3 parameters): Task Assignment, Intervention Pace, Explainability. Measures how continuous, frictionless, and blended the collaboration is.
- ✓ A visual scheme (green for ideal, red for non-compliant) helps interpret MI-CCy levels.
- ✓ It's a tool for structured reflection, not rigorous classification, aiming to foster balanced human-AI partnerships.

Overcoming Key Gaps in MI-CCy Game Design
0 Identified Open Issues for Future ResearchCurrent MI-CCy approaches suffer from coarse collaboration, unbalanced partnerships, poor diversity of game content addressed, limited generalizability across genres, and a critical lack of explainability. Tackling these will boost true co-creativity.

Your AI Implementation Roadmap
A phased approach to integrating mixed-initiative co-creativity into your enterprise game development.
Phase 01: Discovery & Strategy
Initial assessment of current creative workflows, identification of key MI-CCy integration points, and strategic planning for AI tool adoption. Define success metrics and team integration approach.
Phase 02: Pilot Program & Integration
Develop and deploy pilot MI-CCy tools within a specific game content domain (e.g., Game Space or Game Scenarios). Train design teams, gather feedback, and iterate on initial implementations.
Phase 03: Scaling & Optimization
Expand MI-CCy solutions across multiple content types and design teams. Continuously monitor performance, refine AI models, and optimize human-AI collaboration for maximum creative output and efficiency.
