Building Socio-Affective Artificial Intelligence for Interactive Multi-Agent Simulations
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
The objective of this article is to provide design principles and a software architecture for enabling interaction between humans and multiple agents in simulated dynamic worlds. This connects the current era of general artificial intelligence (AI/AGI) with the proliferation of transformer-based conversational agents and the increased computational capabilities. Given an overview of current and previous multi-agent theories of mind (socially and affectively-aware agents), the existence of an integrative design of agent interactions with themselves and with humans must be crucial for understanding how to create sustainable and governance in future human-agent reasoning systems. In this work is presented a software "AGIMUD" that integrates: A. socially-aware reasoning and emotion in agent behavior and interaction, B. a design of human multimodal scheme for human users, artificial agents and simulated worlds, and C. distributing the AI processing through the network to enable multiple autonomous agents. These integrations allow the dynamic world recreation as multi-user dungeons (MUDs) where both agents and humans can interact simultaneously in real time.
