IAS: Learning, planning and resource allocation for intelligent, strategic agents
Research Objectives
Combining expertise from both mathematics (e.g. stochastics, game theory, operation research) and computer science (artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computation), IAS researchers conduct research in:
- Data-efficient, robust, transferable and explainable learning, planning and resource allocation in multi-agent systems.
More information and research projects - Multi-Agent Systems and Human-AI collectives (HAIC): investigating strategic and emergent behavior in multi-agents systems or collectives comprising both humans and AI agents, involving research topics ranging from negotiation and opponent modeling, to auction bidding, mechanism design and collective decision making.
More information and research projects - Explainable and Responsible AI
More information and research projects - Fundamental problems inspired by applications to energy systems, logistics, negotiations, and games as general models of strategic interactions.

Research: Motivation and Context
In our research group, we study generic and fundamental mechanisms that enable the emergence of various degrees of organization, intelligence and autonomy in such systems, and apply them to concrete problems of societal relevance.
Opportunities and Community Building
- Seminars For more information on our seminars, visit the seminar webpage.
- Internships We invite talented Master's and PhD candidates to have a look at our internships.
- Supporting the AI community We strongly believe that successful research is a community effort to which we want to contribute:

IT systems pollute and discriminate, but we can build responsible IT
Digital systems have grown and scaled tremendously in a relatively short period of time. This was accompanied by quick fixes - things we would do differently today. Yet we can create responsible ICT systems, argues Nanda Piersma during her lectoral speech on 6 December at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam.
Shaping the technologies that impact our democracy
Misinformation is just one of many problems we face with the rise of artificial intelligence. Technology is impacting our democracy in an unprecedented way. That is why CWI, the university of Amsterdam and the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences started the AI, Media & Democracy Lab.
