Recent times have seen an emergence of intelligent machines that act autonomously on our
behalf, such as autonomous vehicles. Despite promises of increased efficiency, it is not clear …

Forms of both simple and complex machine intelligence are increasingly acting within
human groups in order to affect collective outcomes. Considering the nature of collective …

This paper envisions a future where autonomous agents are used to foster and support pro-
social behavior in a hybrid society of humans and machines. Pro-social behavior occurs …

As machines that act autonomously on behalf of others–eg, robots–become integral to
society, it is critical we understand the impact on human decision-making. Here we show …

We cooperate with other people despite the risk of being exploited or hurt. If future artificial
intelligence (AI) systems are benevolent and cooperative toward us, what will we do in …

Home assistant chat-bots, self-driving cars, drones or automated negotiation systems are
some of the several examples of autonomous (artificial) agents that have pervaded our …

There is growing interest in the field of cooperative artificial intelligence (AI), that is, settings
in which humans and machines cooperate. By now, more than 160 studies from various …

Understanding how people socially engage with robots is becoming increasingly important
as these machines are deployed in social settings. We investigated 70 participants' …

Deployment of autonomous vehicles on public roads promises increased efficiency and
safety. It requires understanding the intent of human drivers and adapting to their driving …

As autonomous machines, such as automated vehicles (AVs) and robots, become pervasive
in society, they will inevitably face moral dilemmas where they must make decisions that risk …
