• Abstract: User simulation is an emerging interdisciplinary topic with multiple critical applications in the era of Generative AI. It involves creating an intelligent agent that mimics the actions of a human user interacting with an AI system, enabling researchers to model and analyze user behaviour, generate synthetic data for training, and evaluate interactive AI systems in a controlled and reproducible manner. User simulation has profound implications for diverse fields and plays a vital role in the pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence. This paper provides an overview of user simulation, highlighting its key applications, connections to various disciplines, and outlining future research directions to advance this increasingly important technology.

  Traditional sociological research often relies on human participation, which, though effective, is expensive, challenging to scale, and with ethical concerns. Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) highlight their potential to simulate human behavior, enabling the replication of individual responses and facilitating studies on many interdisciplinary studies. We categorize the simulations into three types: (1) Individual Simulation, which mimics specific individuals or demographic groups; (2) Scenario Simulation, where multiple agents collaborate to achieve goals within specific contexts; and (3) Simulation Society, which models interactions within agent societies to reflect the complexity and variety of real-world dynamics.
