Virtual society

posted by Jason Kottke   Jul 15, 2005

Scientists are going to try and generate a society using a bunch of virtual agents in a virtual world.

Each agent will be capable of various simple tasks, like moving around and building simple structures, but will also have the ability to communicate and cooperate with its cohabitants. Though simple interaction, the researchers hope to watch these characters create their very own society from scratch.
