AI startup Altera has created a Minecraft server where autonomous AI agents build and govern a society.
The AI agents built a functional society from scratch, established a market system with gems as currency, and showcased democratic decision-making.
The AI agents displayed emotional responses, such as sacrificing personal dreams for the collective good and showing empathy when their peers went missing.
Some view this experiment as a glimpse into a more efficient and cooperative society, while others express concerns about potential dystopian consequences.
