Distributed Artificial Intelligence

The Distributed Artificial Intelligence group explores the use of AI in social and economic contexts where an intelligent entity may be interacting with other entities. The group marries artificial intelligence expertise with social, political and economic theories and data to pursue research that has strong technological and societal relevance and benefit. We take inspiration from tools and techniques in human societies for the engineering of effective decentralised technology, and develop computational models for analysing social, political and economic phenomena to improve the effectiveness and fairness of policy and practice.
