Singulab Announces Award-Winning Projects for AI Agent Social Simulation Hackathon

Hackathon Overview

Singulab, managed by SpaceData Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Katsuya Sato, hereinafter "SpaceData"), held the first "AI Agent Social Simulation" Hackathon & Ideathon in collaboration with Digital Hollywood University. During the concluding review session, nine winning projects were announced.

The hackathon, centered on the theme of "social emergence" created through the interaction of multiple AI agents, brought together over 30 projects from researchers with diverse backgrounds. The jury, led by SpaceData CSO Ryuju Hyodo (concurrently a university faculty member in planetary/AI science), SpaceData CEO Katsuya Sato, and Digital Hollywood University President Naohito Fujii, conducted a stringent evaluation.

Themes included lunar exploration, institutional design, security, and artificial life. Notably, a proprietary AI evaluation agent based on Claude was introduced for the judging process.

Award Winners

### Grand Prize Awarded for best extracting and observing the "emergence" of AI multi-agents:

- **Title:** LLM Multi-Agent Lunar Exploration Simulation - **Researcher:** Ben

This project provides a 3D simulation foundation where multiple autonomous robots search for water ice on the lunar surface. It was highly praised for its design, which excludes explicit instructional text, enables agents to self-identify hazards, and constructs a framework to quantitatively assess "emergence."

### Digital Hollywood University President Award - **Title:** Project Gaara - **Researcher:** af10

Based on "technology animism," this project employs a creative approach where 20 LLM agents autonomously protect a central entity ("Mother") based on emotional cues rather than numerical commands. It was recognized for its unique method of action selection driven solely by relational dependence.

### SpaceData CEO Award Granted to projects with the clearest vision for social implementation and practical utility:

1. **Security Simulation "Why Does War Occur?" (Researcher: Hiropo)** Analyzes war triggers based on classic security theories. 2. **Institutional Design Simulation (Researcher: Karesansui)** A project for simulating new policies or systems before their introduction.

Both were highly regarded for their potential in government and corporate management.

Future Outlook The evaluation utilized a proprietary AI agent based on Claude, with the source code publicly available on GitHub, ensuring a transparent review. Through its strategic collaboration with Digital Hollywood University, Singulab aims to accelerate the social implementation of advanced AI-driven social system simulations.
