Organized by:
Deree School of Graduate and Professional Education, The American College of Greece 

About the Event

How do (human or artificial) agents make choices when they are part of a group, and how can we help them be accurate, efficient, and fair? This talk will introduce the field of computational social choice, which utilizes tools from economics and computer science to answer questions about collective decision-making. We will explore the potential and challenges of using neural networks to learn and improve voting rules. Given the opacity of modern AI methods, we will discuss ways to ensure that the induced voting rules are transparent and interpretable, setting up a safety net for their widespread adoption. 

The event is free and open to the public.
