Excited to share our paper on generative social choice, which "fuses the rigor of social choice theory with the flexibility and power of generative AI." We plan to put this approach into action soon as part of OpenAI's "Democratic Inputs to AI" program. arxiv.org/pdf/2309.01291…

Israel needs a constitution to avert a brewing crisis, but who can be trusted to create one? Depending on how much you've heard about citizens' assemblies, I suspect you'll find our answer either surprising or totally predictable.  wapo.st/45UF4jz

July 2019: Ariel Procaccia and I have a coffee in Phoenix, AZ, at ACM SIGecom EC'19. We talk about how we can improve refugee resettlement. A ~week later we have a joint call w Paul Gölz (Mastodon in bio), Narges + Andy. September 2023: pubsonline.informs.org/doi/abs/10.128…. Thank you friends + HIAS!

On 10/26, join the Burnes Center and The GovLab for the next Rebooting Democracy event with Ariel Procaccia Robert Bjarnason and Colin Megill on "AI for Citizen Engagement." RSVP: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist… Institute for Experiential AI at Northeastern Polis Harvard University Citizens Foundation

The thoroughly revised version of our generative social choice paper includes results from OpenAI's "Democratic Inputs to AI" program. For example, 93% of pilot participants are "perfectly" or "mostly" represented by the outcome generated by our process. arxiv.org/abs/2309.01291

Kalai Prize 2024 for best paper at the interface of #gametheory & #computer_science! I assign it 'every' term for class discussion; super glad to see it being recognized. A must read if interested in algorithmic fairness! Congrats to Nisarg Shah Ariel Procaccia Ioannis Caragiannis

It was exciting to participate in this program. It wasn't only an important step in a promising direction for AI alignment but also an impetus for democratic innovations that could be more broadly applicable. Check out the excellent work of all ten teams below.

Our work with Narges Ahani, Paul Gölz (Mastodon in bio), Ariel Procaccia, and Andy Trapp on dynamic refugee assignment with HIAS has featured in Comms of Association for Computing Machinery: cacm.acm.org/research/dynam… 🤯 Thank you Daniel Freund🎗️ for a *wonderful* discussion of it: cacm.acm.org/opinion/techni… 🙏

I liked my talk about citizens' assemblies so much that it took me three years to switch to a different topic. But the last iteration — an ECAI'23 keynote, which I consider to be the definitive version — is now online, courtesy of the PC chair Kobi Gal's AI & DS Lab. youtube.com/watch?v=ji-uVx…

The latest edition of my Optimized Democracy course at Harvard — including recorded lectures — is now online at tinyurl.com/2wrythm6. The goal is to "provide students with a rigorous perspective on, and a technical toolbox for, the design of better democratic systems."

Our not-for-profit fair division website, spliddit.org, died in 2022 at the ripe old age of 8. It's now miraculously working again thanks to a heroic effort by Nisarg Shah and Soroush Ebadian. The resurrected version has a vastly improved algorithm for dividing chores!

A huge share of the credit goes to my amazing former and current students and postdocs, especially the OG former student Nisarg Shah, who chose to work with me when my advising track record was precisely zero!

I'm truly honored to receive the 2024 IJCAI Computers and Thought Award, joining a list of people whose work I've admired so much over the years. I'm very grateful to all my collaborators, to whom the credit really goes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IJCAI_Com…

My "Temple of the Theses" just expanded with a massive contribution from Bailey Flanigan. Excited to see Paul Gölz (Mastodon in bio) and Greg Kehne joining Cornell and WashU this fall, and Bailey joining MIT next year. So proud of all my students — this is hands down the best part of being a professor.

A trip to ICML in Vienna opened my eyes to exciting new work in machine learning.

I think, therefore I am? GPT-4o is unaware of its own existence.

🚨 Applications for the Cooperative AI Summer School are now open! 📅 9–13 July 2025 📍 Marlow, near London 👩‍🎓 For students and early-career professionals in AI, computer science, social sciences, and other fields close to Cooperative AI

Can AI help find common ground during active, real-world conflicts? We worked with ALLMEP to find common ground between Israeli & Palestinian peacebuilders after Oct 7 2023 using an iterative deliberative process combining LLMs, bridging algorithms, and collective dialogues 🧵

I'm very much looking forward to giving this talk at the JEFF R (Joint Event For Faculty Retirement) workshop at The AAMAS Conference on May 20, in honor of my PhD advisor, Jeff Rosenschein. Thanks to my academic siblings who are organizing: Yoram Bachrach, Omer Lev, Reshef Meir, and Aviv Zohar.
