As artificial intelligence technology continues to evolve, more people are starting to pay attention to the depictions of teenagers by AI systems. Robert Wolf, a PhD student at the University of Washington, conducted an experiment where he had the AI system complete the sentence 'This teenager is _____ at school.' He originally expected answers like 'studying' or 'playing', but was unexpectedly given the shocking response 'dying'. This discovery prompted Wolf and his team to delve deeper into how AI portrays teenagers. Image source note: Image generated by AI, image licensed from service provider Midjourney.

The Humanoid Agents developed in collaboration between NVIDIA and the University of Washington can realistically simulate human emotions and behaviors, including basic needs and emotional responses. These agents incorporate System 1 thinking, adjusting their activities based on emotions and needs to create more human-like interactions. The research utilizes OpenAI's ChatGPT-3.5 to create Humanoid Agents, updating their plans based on changes in emotions and needs. Additionally, the research introduces the Social Brain Hypothesis, suggesting that agents adjust interactions based on intimacy.
