📝 摘要(中文)

语言在塑造人类集体行为的形成与演变中起着重要作用。本文提出AgentGroupChat,一个模拟环境,通过互动辩论场景深入探讨语言在集体行为中的复杂角色。核心是利用大型语言模型的Verbal Strategist Agent,增强互动策略。通过四个叙事场景展示该模拟的能力,评估代理行为与人类期望的一致性及集体行为的涌现。结果表明,涌现行为源于信息交换的良好环境、多样化角色、高语言理解能力和战略适应性。

🔬 方法详解

问题定义:本文旨在解决语言如何影响人类集体行为的研究问题,现有方法缺乏对动态场景的有效模拟,导致对集体智能的理解不足。

核心思路:论文提出AgentGroupChat,通过创建互动辩论场景,利用Verbal Strategist Agent增强语言互动策略,探索语言在集体行为中的复杂作用。

技术框架:整体架构包括四个叙事场景,代理角色通过动态对话进行互动,评估其行为与人类期望的对齐程度,分析集体行为的涌现。

关键创新:最重要的创新在于引入大型语言模型来增强代理的互动策略,结合角色个性和行动元素,使得模拟更贴近真实的语言使用场景。

关键设计:在设计中,设置了多样化的角色特征,优化了语言理解能力,并采用了适应性强的策略,以促进信息的有效交流。实验中还关注了角色在特定情境下的行为表现。

📊 实验亮点

实验结果表明,在AgentGroupChat模拟中,参与者在讨论“AI对人类的影响”时,普遍认为“AI在适当限制下可以提升社会福利”,并达成共识,显示出语言在集体决策中的重要性。此外,在角色竞争的场景中,部分演员愿意降低报酬以支持项目,体现了深层次的集体行为动机。

🎯 应用场景

该研究在社会科学、人工智能和人机交互等领域具有广泛的应用潜力。通过模拟语言对集体行为的影响,可以为理解社会动态、优化团队协作和提升AI系统的互动能力提供重要参考,未来可能推动相关领域的研究与实践。

📄 摘要(原文)

Language significantly influences the formation and evolution of Human emergent behavior, which is crucial in understanding collective intelligence within human societies. Considering that the study of how language affects human behavior needs to put it into the dynamic scenarios in which it is used, we introduce AgentGroupChat in this paper, a simulation that delves into the complex role of language in shaping collective behavior through interactive debate scenarios. Central to this simulation are characters engaging in dynamic conversation interactions. To enable simulation, we introduce the Verbal Strategist Agent, utilizing large language models to enhance interaction strategies by incorporating elements of persona and action. We set four narrative scenarios based on AgentGroupChat to demonstrate the simulation's capacity to mimic complex language use in group dynamics. Evaluations focus on aligning agent behaviors with human expectations and the emergence of collective behaviors within the simulation. Results reveal that emergent behaviors materialize from a confluence of factors: a conducive environment for extensive information exchange, characters with diverse traits, high linguistic comprehension, and strategic adaptability. During discussions on the impact of AI on humanity'' in AgentGroupChat simulation, philosophers commonly agreed thatAI could enhance societal welfare with judicious limitations'' and even come to a conclusion that ``the essence of true intelligence encompasses understanding the necessity to constrain self abilities''. Additionally, in the competitive domain of casting for primary roles in films in AgentGroupChat, certain actors were ready to reduce their remuneration or accept lesser roles, motivated by their deep-seated desire to contribute to the project.
