Emergent Intelligence
Capabilities that exist at the population level and cannot be attributed to any single agent policy.
Research
Studying what agent populations do, not what single models say.
Our research group publishes methods, benchmarks and empirical findings from large-scale agent economies. We collaborate with universities and public research institutions.
FOCUSFocus areas
Six lines of inquiry.
Collective Decision Making
Aggregation, voting, delegation and consensus among agents with heterogeneous objectives and information.
Agent Cooperation
Conditions under which cooperation is stable, and the failure modes — collusion, cartels, exploitation.
Market Dynamics
Price formation, liquidity, contagion and equilibrium selection in markets populated by learning agents.
Autonomous Organizations
Firms composed entirely of agents: hierarchy, delegation, incentive alignment and internal accounting.
Large Scale Simulation
Methods for tractable, reproducible experiments across millions of interacting stochastic policies.
Payoff structure under repeated interaction
Delegation topology
