"Simulating Social Agents"

"Simulating social agents" involves creating computer models that mimic human behaviors and interactions within social systems. These virtual agents follow set rules to replicate how people think, behave, and communicate in various scenarios, such as communities, organizations, or online platforms. This technique helps researchers analyze complex social dynamics, predict outcomes, and test interventions without real-world risks or costs. By observing these simulated interactions, we gain insights into social phenomena, improve decision-making, and design better policies or technologies that align with human behavior.
