Explore the cutting-edge field of Agent-Based Modeling in this captivating lecture by Dr. Joshua Epstein, a pioneer in computational social science. Delve into the world of artificial societies where software-based individuals interact on simulated landscapes, generating realistic social dynamics ranging from revolutions to epidemics. Witness fascinating demonstrations of agent-based models, from a simple school playground simulation to the sophisticated 7 billion agent Global Epidemic Model used during real-world pandemics. Gain insights into Dr. Epstein's future plans to enhance these models with Agent_Zero, a next-generation software entity grounded in contemporary neuroscience and capable of simulating emotions like fear. Discover how large-scale spatial models populated by neuro-cognitive agents represent the frontier of computational social science, offering new ways to understand and predict complex social phenomena.
