social agents
Social agents are entities—such as individuals, organizations, or automated systems—that interact within social environments, influencing and responding to others’ behaviors, decisions, and norms. They can communicate, collaborate, or compete, shaping social dynamics and outcomes. In technology, social agents may refer to AI programs designed to simulate human-like interactions or participate in social systems, helping facilitate communication or perform tasks. Overall, social agents are key players in understanding how groups, societies, or systems function and evolve through their interactions.
