Artificial Societies
ActiveHiringWe build networks of AIs to simulate high-value audiences
About
Artificial Societies are networks of thousands of AIs that model the opinions of important groups of people. We are informing clients with $3T+ in total market cap, helping global F100 enterprises test how their biggest decisions shift the opinions that matter, including those of their customers, investors, opinion leaders, and regulators. We are experts in human societies. James, our Founder and CEO, is a Cambridge psychologist and data scientist who led the seminal paper that studied how 33,000 AI chatbots interact. Patrick, our Founder and Chief Product Officer, is an Applied Behavioural Scientist with years of experience helping F500 enterprises conduct market research. They are joined by a team of behavioural scientists, social scientists, and political scientists, all with a passion for uniting technology and an understanding of humanity. Our vision of Artificial Societies is a Societal World Model - socially intelligent technology that shape the decisions that shape the world. No planes fly without a wind-tunnel; no medicines are approved without clinical trials; and yet, the biggest decision societies face today are taken as bets. We see Artificial Societies as a historically inevitable technology, and see it as our lives' mission to bring it to life.
