Sotopia: an Open-ended Social Learning Environment

A small island with a lot of houses and trees

Sotopia is an open-ended environment to simulate complex social interactions between LLM-based artificial agents and evaluate their social intelligence. Agents role-play and interact under a wide variety of scenarios to achieve complex social goals.

AI systems today have impressive capabilities, but they are often socially unaware, sometimes even present biased or harmful behaviors. We believe that aligning AI systems with human values and society requires situating AI in a rich social environment, confronting them with complex objectives and social norms, and evaluating their performance in a variety of social contexts. Sotopia is the first step towards this vision.
