Title:

Augmenting Human Intellect in Negotiation

Abstract:

Exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence and human intellect augmentation, this talk focuses on leveraging AI in negotiation. Negotiation poses inherent challenges for humans, presenting an ideal canvas for the application of AI techniques across various subtasks in negotiation. Moreover, fully automated negotiation is relevant for collaborative automated agents and in some social settings. SWOT analyses performed over time allows us to track the evolving landscape of machine learning subfields, revealing shifts in strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Furthermore, I will discuss the necessity of co-evolving the evaluation framework for negotiating agents amidst advancing AI capabilities.
