These 1,000 AI agents are freaking out behavioral scientists
This changes everything about how we understand customer behavior.
I spend a lot of time analyzing AI breakthroughs and papers each week, but this one made me do a double take. Stanford and Google DeepMind researchers just trained 1,000 AI agents to predict human behavior with 85% accuracy - roughly the same accuracy as humans predicting their own responses just two weeks later.
Let that sink in.
When we talk about AI predicting human behavior, we usually mean broad statistical patterns or simplified models. But these researchers did something different: they created AI agents that can simulate individual humans with remarkable fidelity, understanding not just what people might do, but why they do it.
