Connections, Collectives, and Collaborations

“This interdisciplinary conference will provide a platform for exploring how AI can be informed by and contribute to understanding collective intelligence in science, economics, and beyond. By fostering dialogue between experts in AI, natural sciences, and social sciences, the conference seeks to highlight the synergies between these perspectives—not only to deepen our understanding of the current state of AI technology but also to shape its future development in a direction that aligns with societal values and priorities.”
