	According to [[Georgios N. Yannakakis]], the Game-AI present in a game serves as an ~~experimantation~~ field for the Academic-AI research. For Game-AI, the focus has shifted towards the connection of game design and game technology. Game-AI should not be developed on its own, but instead be developed hand-in-hand with the overall ~~developement~~ of a game. <ref name=":0">Yannakakis,Georgios N./Togelius,Julian: ''Artificial Intelligence and Games,'' Springer 2018.

	Even though it's not proven that the AI managing the Biofeedback data, was developed within the game, there's a strong correlation between the storyline, consisting of traumatic experiences, and the way the AI behaves considering the players biofeedback. Similar to traumatic experiences where you get stuck and apprehensive the farther you dig, the AI uses Biofeedback to adapt the Gamespace of Nevermind to a more disturbing version when it detects ~~negativ~~ affective arousal.

	====Experience & Performance====		====Experience & Performance====
	By playing a game an AI can improve a game in 2 seperate ways : Experience & Performance. An AI can play a game either '''well''' or '''believably''' (that is '''human-like''' or '''~~intrestingly~~''') and can furthermore control the player character or an NPC. If an AI plays well as a player character, it can help optimizing the games ''performance'' (e.g. completing game objectives). This can help to improve the overall game design. An AI that plays well as an NPC can enhance the overall ''experience'' (e.g. difficulty levels) for the human player. This can help to create a more dynamic gameplay or improve the games balancing.<ref name=":1">Yannakakis,Georgios N./Togelius,Julian: ''Artificial Intelligence and Games,'' Springer 2018.
