Computer scientist Joon Sung Park introduces a new way of simulating human behavior called "generative agents." Like in the video game "The Sims," these agents — trained on AI to develop a stream of memories — notice each other, initiate conversations, form opinions and plan ahead. Park shows how these simulacra could open up new opportunities to study human behavior and test out things like social policies.
