Seminar series

We are proud to introduce the 2026 ACSOS seminar series, a series of talks by high-profile researchers who contribute to the field of autonomous and self-* systems.

Check the latest schedule for our seminar series:

As AI systems become more autonomous and increasingly embedded in everyday life, social intelligence is becoming just as critical as technical capability. Today’s AI systems often exhibit superhuman performance in narrow domains, yet lack key aspects of human social reasoning—creating challenges as they interact more deeply with people and institutions.

In this seminar, Dr. Peter Lewis will explore how autonomous systems can be designed to function effectively within hybrid human–AI societies. Using the case study of institution formation for the sustainable governance of shared resources, he will demonstrate how agent-based modeling and evolutionary game theory provide complementary tools for understanding and shaping collective behavior.

Date & Time: Thursday, April 2, 2026 · 10:00–11:00 AM (ET)/3:00-4:00 PM (GMT)
