An Artificial Agent Society can be defined as a collection of agents interacting with each other for some purpose and/or inhabiting a specific locality, possibly in accordance to some common norms/rules. These societies are analogous to human and ecological societies, and are an expanding and emerging field in research about social systems. Social networks, electronic markets and disaster manag...

Current dialogues across a variety of disciplines from the social, behavioral and computer sciences have made clear the need for authentic, repeatable and actionable social simulations. Understanding how the individuals that comprise various populations (and segments of society) might respond to a given set of conditions provides the potential to better inform analysts and decision makers in a ...

A society consisting of agents who can freely choose to attack or not to attack others inevitably evolves into a battling society (a 'war of all against all'). We investigated whether strategies based on C. Schmitt's concept of the political, the distinction of a friend and an enemy, lead to the emergence and collapse of social order. Especially, we propose 'friend selection strategies' (FSSs),...

This research investigates the concept of mind as a control system using the “Society of Agents” metaphor. “Society of Agents” describes collective behaviours of simple and intelligent agents. “Society of Mind” is more than a collection of task-oriented and deliberative agents; it is a powerful concept for mind research and can benefit from the use of metacognition. The aim is to develop a self...

Abstract The rapid advances in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics will have a profound impact on society as they interfere with the people their interactions. Intelligent autonomous robots, independent if are humanoid/anthropomorphic or not, physical presence, make decisions, interact all stakeholders society, yet unforeseen manners. symbiosis such sophisticated robots may lead to fundamental...

One of the typical binaries existing in western society is the division between natural and artificial. But similarly biological and technological are often seen as oppositions. In today’s world, it is increasingly difficult to tell the difference between naturalbiological entities from artificially constructed ones with human cognitive abilities. This is due to the development of biotechnologi...
