The article explores a quantum-inspired model for Distributed Intelligence Systems (DIS). It examines interactions between Networked Intelligent Agents (NIAs) and their Artificial Intelligence Assistants (AIAs). Users can’t communicate directly but interact via avatars, forming a complex network. Using Russell’s circumplex model of affect, the study maps emotional states to a two-level quantum system. Avatars exchange information, influencing users’ mental states. The model’s Hamiltonian describes these interactions, showing conditions for users’ satisfaction. Key findings include the role of user-avatar coupling strength and network structure in opinion formation and information dissemination. High cooperativity between users and avatars enhances information spread, leading to a “social lasing” effect. The study highlights the importance of adaptive control, suggesting that coupling strength proportional to node degree significantly improves DIS performance. This quantum-inspired approach provides new insights into how digital assistants can foster user cooperation and influence within complex networks.
