NOVA AI Civilization Lab is an AI-powered simulation of a virtual society where citizens evolve through structured world events, with human decisions dictating which AI-generated actions become reality. The project utilizes Next.js, TypeScript, Sanity, and Groq, and consists of 8 citizens with unique occupations, personalities, and goals, as well as critical infrastructure such as a Town Hall, General Hospital, Power Station, Central School, and Market.
The civilization state is stored in the Sanity Content Lake, and when an event occurs, the AI model generates contextual reactions for each citizen, which are then sent to a human approval queue for review. Approved proposals modify the citizen's persistent state in Sanity, while rejected proposals do not affect the civilization.
This process allows for a human-controlled AI simulation, where AI proposes actions and humans decide which become part of the evolving world.
