How can researchers effectively and ethically use LLM agents in social experiments? I had the pleasure of discussing this topic with some wonderful researchers at my roundtable session at #SPSP2025

Here are some resources below! ⬇️
Gif animation of a behavioral experiment using threejs platform to show how participants can chat with agents in a 3D space and have distinct conversations triggered by physical distance. Animation of a chat with an LLM agent triggered by participant's voice, which is transcribed, sent to the server, and replied back via a virtual text-to-speech service. Animation of a dictator game experiment where the LLM agent's perception of the participant programmatically affects a trust rating score.
