A recent audit of 113 works published between 1999 and 2026 reveals a significant gap in how social world models are evaluated. While many studies assess a system's ability to reach a favorable outcome in tasks like negotiation, few directly measure the accuracy of the model's predictions about human responses. Of the primary evaluations examined, only two also compared explicit response forecasts with actual human reactions, and these forecasts used information available at the time of action selection. A further check of 25 language model works found no experiments meeting these specific criteria, suggesting a broader issue in assessing the predictive capabilities of social world models. AI
