Generative Agents Modeling

We are working on a new approach to modeling complex social systems where generative AI is used to better represent human behavior.  We refer to this new paradigm of modeling as "generative agent-based modeling," GABM. In these models, individuals are "autonomous", empowered by generative AI. Our recent papers:
