Bringing Harmony Through AI and Economics

Опубликовано 22 июня 2016, 19:24

The alliance between AI and economics is making an ever-growing societal impact. I will focus on an emerging theme in this space: developing computer programs that help groups of people make harmonious everyday decisions. I will illustrate this theme through my research in computational social choice and computational fair division. In both areas, I will make a special effort to demonstrate how fundamental theoretical questions underlie the design and implementation of deployed services that are already used by tens of thousands of people (spliddit.org), as well as upcoming services (robovote.org).
