Large-scale simulations involving many autonomous agents—reflecting the full spectrum of civilizational processes—have yet to be explored. Here, we demonstrate how 10 – 1000+ AI agents behave and progress within agent societies. We first introduce the PIANO (Parallel Information Aggregation via Neu- ral Orchestration) architecture, which enables agents to interact with humans and other agents in real-time while maintaining coherence across multiple output streams. We then evaluate agent performance in large- scale simulations using civilizational benchmarks inspired by human history. These simulations, set within a Minecraft environment, reveal that agents are capable of meaningful progress—autonomously developing specialized roles, adhering to and changing collective rules, and engaging in cultural and religious transmis- sion. These preliminary results show that agents can achieve significant milestones towards AI civilizations, opening new avenues for large-scale societal simulations, agentic organizational intelligence, and integrating AI into human civilizations. 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | ## Paper 16 | 17 | The paper is available in two locations: 18 | - arXiv: [arXiv:2411.00114](https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.00114) 19 | - PDF: [2024-10-31.pdf](2024-10-31.pdf) (in this repository) 20 | 21 | ## Citation 22 | 23 | If you find this work useful in your research, please consider citing: 24 | 25 | ```bibtex 26 | @article{altera2024sid, 27 | title = {Project Sid: Many-agent simulations toward AI civilization}, 28 | author = {Altera.AL}, 29 | year = {2024}, 30 | journal = {arXiv preprint arXiv:2411.00114} 31 | } 32 | ``` -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /visual_abstract.png: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/altera-al/project-sid/757ea101c476a012085e5645393dc501ffed5ea4/visual_abstract.png --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
