Common Horizons

AI-powered simulation is becoming increasingly capable of modeling collective dynamics, capturing how societies behave — but what would it mean to use it to think through transformation? Robotic hands holding a digital cube With agent-based models — and now large language model (LLM)-driven systems — we can simulate how opinions spread, how polarization emerges, and how collective dynamics evolve. Recent work on generative agents shows how AI-driven entities can mimic believa
