An AI simulator launched to prevent bullying and improve public safety

An AI simulator launched to prevent bullying and improve public safety developed by Chinese scientists.

An AI social simulation platform developed by Chinese scientists was launched on Friday at a forum, designed to integrate multidimensional data for social governance through early warning and analysis, focusing on areas such as intelligent transportation, public safety, and school bullying prevention.

Named “Large Social Simulator 1.0,” the platform was co-developed by researchers from Peking University, Tsinghua University, the Wuhan Institute for Artificial Intelligence, and other institutions, and was unveiled at a forum in Wuhan, Hubei Province.

The simulator has already been implemented in seven schools in the Donghu New Technology Development Zone in Wuhan, aiding in campus bullying alerts, AI physical assessments, and VR-based future classrooms, according to the Global Times.

Pilot projects have also been launched in communities like Hukou, Huanglongshan, and Xingyuan in Wuhan, using VR simulation to model emergency population evacuations and address issues such as residents throwing objects from heights.

This simulator can replicate extensive interactions among intelligent agents within a 3D modeling environment.

It integrates multidimensional data from individuals, groups, and public services to create a comprehensive data ecosystem.

The system labels multi-layered model behaviors through two functions: utility and value systems. It employs “distributed computing and high-concurrency scheduling” technologies for accurate simulations, as reported by the Global Times.

Moreover, Zhu Songchun, director of the Beijing Institute for General Artificial Intelligence, one of the co-developers, expressed confidence that the simulator will have extensive applications in managing mega cities and complex social governance, including monitoring population flow.
