🇨🇳 China just built a virtual society with 1 BILLION AI people. Researchers built Light Society, a system where AI agents have personalities, memories, beliefs and human-like behavior. Instead of using one giant model for everyone, it combines powerful LLMs with smaller models to make the simulation efficient enough to run over 1 billion agents. They gave the agents real-world demographic data, then simulated things like trust, opinions and information spreading. And the results reportedly looked surprisingly similar to real human social behavior. Now imagine running a virtual population to test: 🗳️ Elections 📉 Market panic 🔥 Misinformation 🚨 Crisis reactions 🌐 Global trends We’re not at “predict the future” yet, but AI just took another step toward simulating society itself. 🤯 Source. @aipost 🏴
