Workshop IV — Modeling Multi-Scale Collective Intelligences

This workshop will bring together leading experts in the mathematical modeling of collective intelligence. While the workshop will explore collective intelligence in many different systems, substrates (both natural and artificial), and scales, it will focus on three broadly applicable modeling frameworks: dynamical systems, which have been applied to systems as various as brains and insect swarms; statistical physics, which has illuminated the behavior of flocking birds and deep learning architectures; and game theory, which has been applied to animal, human, and AI collectives. The collective intelligence domain cultivates the further development of formal tools for treating compositionality; the emergence of new capacities and collective degrees of freedom at multiple scales; and the higher-level institutions that coordinate the intelligent behavior of lower-level parts.
