Large language models empowered agent-based modeling and simulation: a survey and perspectives

C. Gao, X. Lan, et al.

Agent-based modeling and simulation reveal emergent behaviors in complex systems, and integrating large language models promises to enhance those capabilities. This survey examines the motivation, key challenges (environment perception, human alignment, action generation, evaluation), and recent LLM-empowered simulations across cyber, physical, social, and hybrid domains, and outlines open problems and future directions. This research was conducted by the authors present in <Authors>.
