SpaceData Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Koyo Sato, hereinafter "SpaceData") announces the hosting of a hackathon and ideathon for social simulation utilizing LLM (Large Language Model)-based multi-AI agents. This event will take place from April 14 to May 7 within "Singulab," a research community operated by the company aiming to cultivate future talent adaptable to the Singularity.
Background and Objectives
This hackathon and ideathon is an attempt to multidimensionally depict the future society through simulations using AI agents. Conducted as part of SpaceData's "AUTOMATA Project," it aims to construct and verify tens of thousands of "what if" worlds using AI, seeking to gain insights that contribute to designing a better society for humanity.
Please watch the video for more details.
Design Philosophy
This is a hackathon where participants compete in ideas and implementation skills by releasing multiple AI agents (LLM multi-agents) into worlds they freely configure, observing what kind of society and emergence arise. The core of this hackathon's design philosophy is to highly respect the autonomous decision-making of LLM-based AI agents.
Definition of "Laws of the World": We do not give specific action commands to AI agents. Instead, we only define environmental conditions such as physical laws, social norms, resource constraints, and action possibilities within that world.
Observation of "Social Emergence": By entrusting decision-making to the AI agents themselves, we observe autonomous actions and interactions that exceed the designer's intentions, as well as social emergence such as community formation, order, conflict, and cooperation.
What is the "AUTOMATA" Project?
When humanity expands to the lunar surface or deep space, the physical limitations of organic bodies are inevitable. This project aims to transform AI from a mere support tool into "autonomous intelligent life" capable of self-evolution and self-replication. It is a grand endeavor to define a new form of life unbound by a biological body, construct a new biosphere by artificially designed life, and establish its foundational technology.
