Abstract

Despite the maturity of AI image generation, integration of generative AI in M&S has primarily been limited to text. This paper presents a vision for the use of AI-generated images in M&S with an emphasis on equity and transparency. We suggest several emerging use cases including AI-generated images acting as interfaces between agent-based models and physics-based simulations, encouraging empathetic decision-making by visualizing individual agents, and promoting transparency with symbolic representations that complement textual descriptions of abstract model processes. Finally, we discuss the mitigation of ethical issues related to the deployment of AI-generated images in M&S.
