These AI Agents are Building ‘Civilizations’ on Minecraft 🤯
Project Sid is an AI experiment where more than 1,000 autonomous agents were given free rein to build Minecraft worlds together.
Details:
It was conducted by California-based startup Altera, whose mission is “to create digital human beings that live, care, and grow with us.”
These agents, without human help, built their own societies, including economies, cultures, religions, and governments inside the game.
Altera also saw AI agents adapt their plans to circumstances and team up for rescue efforts when a villager went missing.
This simulation highlights how AI can learn and work together in ways we haven't seen before.
In the future, we could use AI like this to explore solutions to real-world challenges before putting them into action, and we might wonder how we made big decisions without such tools.
