What happens when AI systems are asked to play social games instead of solving isolated tasks?

@elifakata.bsky.social recent talk at the Hertie School explored how LLM reason, coordinate, & sometimes struggle when interacting with humans & other agents.

What happens when climate ambition meets everyday dependence on the car?
That question was at the heart of the #BrownBag seminar at @hertieschool.bsky.social, where Dr @giuliomattioli.bsky.social examined how rising fuel prices affect vulnerable households and what his decade-long research on

Genius work by @giuliomattioli.bsky.social
thanks @hertiedatascience.bsky.social! Perversely, in cities, the richest are least exposed to oil shocks, because they don't need a car, even if they do they don't drive them all the time. Moving out & buying a car can create precarity. #transportPoverty

At the latest Brown Bag Seminar, Francisco Tomás-Valiente Jordá shared insights from a real-world experiment with an Austrian newspaper, exploring how pre- and post-moderation strategies shape online comment sections.

Outstanding! Not to give away results (cf. link), but look at the great methodology & cooperation – a local news site let them randomise which articles received which treatment with respect to post or pre moderation for comment toxicity, so the scientists can see ALL costs incl #freeSpeech. #science
Join us tomorrow at the #BrownBag series, where Francisco Tomás-Valiente Jordá will present findings from a randomized field experiment with an Austrian newspaper comparing pre- & post-moderation methods for managing harmful comments.

How do central banks talk to the public – and does anyone actually listen? How effective are these messages, & who pays attention?
Dr. @conjugateprior.org, together with Nicole Baerg @universityofessex.bsky.social & Dominik Duell @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social, explore these questions in their new paper
