arXiv:2607. 13693v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This book chapter covers the evolution of social simulation from classical agent-based models, in which agents interact according to explicitly defined behavioral rules, to AI-enhanced simulations based on Large Language Models and, ultimately, Social Digital Twins: high-fidelity, data-driven representations of real-world socio-technical systems.
arXiv:2510. 05743v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We review the historical development and current trends of artificially intelligent agents (agentic AI) in the social and behavioral sciences: from the first programmable computers, and social simulations soon thereafter, to today's experiments with large language models.
arXiv:2607. 06080v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Putnam's Social Capital Theory is a foundational framework for collective action and community prosperity.
Putnam's Social Capital Theory is a foundational framework for collective action and community prosperity. However, traditional empirical methods face practical limits on control and replication.
arXiv:2504. 09662v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-agent large language model simulations have the potential to model complex human behaviors and interactions.
arXiv:2506. 12078v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Understanding the dynamic evolution of complex social phenomena requires both high-fidelity modeling of human behavior and large-scale simulations.
arXiv:2606. 15503v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we introduce the concept of synthetic counteradaptation, a process where human and AI systems co-evolve by adapting to each other's strategies and behaviors.
arXiv:2406. 14373v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) and advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) offer an opportunity for computational social science research at scale.
arXiv:2510. 19299v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Can large language model (LLM) agents reproduce the complex social dynamics that characterize human online behavior -- shaped by homophily, reciprocity, and social validation -- and what memory and learning mechanisms enable such dynamics to emerge?
arXiv:2608. 14667v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model-based agents are increasingly deployed as collaborators in scientific discovery yet most current work focuses on the autonomous capabilities of "AI Scientists".
arXiv:2509. 17192v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: LLM-based social simulations can make a generated transcript look like a single behavioral signal, but the model behind that transcript may be doing several different jobs: choosing what an actor says or does, deciding what happens after an action, or both.
arXiv:2512. 07195v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-agent role-playing has recently shown promise for studying social behavior with language agents, but existing simulations are mostly monolingual without cross-lingual interaction, an essential property of real societies.
arXiv:2507. 09788v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLM) have led to a new class of autonomous agents, renewing and expanding interest in the area.
