Most recent version here (from my #AAMAS keynote on the limits of #autonomy )
#AIWelfare #AISB @[email protected] -
#AAMAS gave me a statue of Aphrodite to thank me for my keynote! I've always been more of an Athena person (because Chicago, not MIT.) Hope Athena doesn't get jealous -- or angry that I'd think the goddess of wisdom gets jealous over something like that. But you know how those myths quite often go...

Unfortunately I can't figure out how to retrieve @[email protected] papers to from particularl sessions, but both the GAAI panels look to have super interesting papers. If there's no way to dynamically build that page, ( #AAMAS ?) then someone should make a Webpage! @[email protected]

Also super! arxiv.org/abs/2511.07568 ProcLLM guiding agnetic LLMs with procedural knowledge Vincent Hsiao, Mak Roberts, Leslie N. Smith ProcLLM greatly increases success rate of agentic llms on multi step tasks, very small LLM with this can exceed performance of a big, famous llm without. #aamas

Awesome talk! roger0426.github.io/MENSA/ online in real time. Two things I love: knowing when to "think" and getting massive improvement, AND #netHack – I haven't seen that as a test domain before, #LLMWin #AAMAS #AAMAS2026

Robust Counterfactual Inference in Markov Decision Processes
Jessica Lally, Milad Kazemi, Nicola Paoletti prizewinning or at least nominated paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.13731 #aamas -
TBH I went to an archealogical site during the coffee break after a quick look at posters, so missed the first half of the morning session. But enjoying an afternoon session now https://mastodon.social/@j2bryson.bsky[email protected]/116651971743987150n #AAMAS the session chairs are being more agile and fighting to keep audience, so you may not see talks in expected order but IMO building a community understanding is a higher proirity so I think this is good.

Actually no demo but a great excuse to enjoy the weather. Oh, one‘s flying now.

#AAMAS medals for all the organisers from any year!!

Wooldridge says the first fully written by AI was genuinely MAS with agents playing different role, and it got in transparently to the scientific literature. He thinks that's astonishing, no one would have expected that in 2002. Nor that it could all be done in natural language NLP. #AAMAS he thinks there will be completely AI generated businesses in a couple of years (I hope not!!) I guess we'll have a human-centring #accountability fight on Friday after MY keynote.
-
Gini – hey #AAMAS started in Bolognia, the first university of the world! That's why it went so well :-) History, food, we are humans, this has long-term impact.
She also makes an excellent point for the "future" question – #AAMAS needs to figure out how to reconcile what they are doing with what the #agentic systems are doing. I have tbh been disappointed by the lack of engagement to that here this year, but I expect Wooldridge's keynote will help tomorrow; we'll see.

To be fair, many of these people may be insecure about their English, which I get. But we should be able to have live talks in e.g. Chinese with automated real-time subtitling / supertitling already. I think it's time for this both online and in person. #AAMAS #academicChatter

Wooldridge reminds us of how great #ATAL books were – we put in THREE versions of our papers, submission, revised after review draft, and third AFTER the event – you had to put in a corrected version that cited the other papers – became the biggest selling Springer LLNCS books as a consequence of his editorial work (I"m adding detail, Wooldridge is more modest.) #AAMAS The question was right. He was jealous of NIPS at one point, where's the Google cheque for us? :-D But now feels affirmed.
-
Wooldridge points out Lesser put the whole frst meeting on his visa card and was lucky a lot of peole came so he could pay his bill!
Wooldridge goes on to talk about #ATAL Everyone else was doing components, only hte robots were doing full systems, so that kicked off the whole arechitecture question, which he still thinks is the most relevant question in 2026. Oh, but now he's down the Bratman & Knowledge Representation (KR) rabbit hole (showing my biases :-) #scruffies #aamas
-
Ha, Lesser says ICMAS was named by Carl Hewitt because it was an AI Winter so that had doomed the Distributed AI meeting (1993! The year I started my PhD...) #aamas The FIRST one was 1978 Distributed Sensor Networks – then "agents" were called "noteds" but they still looked at interaction and cooperation. His own first paper was at Distributed Processing but that was very low level. Gini was the one that went from workshop to conference.

Michael Wooldridge
Maria Gini and
Victor Lesser are the panel brought in to talk about this.
Oh, this is like the Distinguished Service Award at IJCAI; we're learning how great it is to be the ones who organise conferences. :-) #AAMAS -

These were my suggestions for "virtual presence" #hybrid in 2016! IMO you should never speak at a meeting without real presence, meaning you can adjust your talk to the talks that went before you. You don't have to be physically present, but mentally, yes. #aamas
Draft rules for virtual presen... -
OTOH some TERRIBLE practice wih people not turning up or just piping in badly with recorded talks. IMO there should be no recorded talks even if it is hybrid.
The final paper has FIVE authors present, and 1/4 the starting audience :-( #aamas

I've not attended mainstream AI conferences for some time, at least a decade, maybe ijcai2013 was the most recent. Observing some interesting and nice rituals deployed by many speakers:
1) "all of this code is online open source the links are in the paper and also here" often provided on two servers e.g. both github & huggingface
2) People are good & smooth about saying "that's a good question, that's a hard problem, we're open to suggestions" at the limits of the presented work. #aamas -
Can Vibe Coding Beat Graduate CS Students? An LLM vs. Human Coding Tournament on Market-driven Strategic Planning
Panayiotis Danassis, Naman GoelNo. People are fooled because benchmarks are binary. If you have agents play against each other, despite using most expensive LLM, lots of prompt strategies, LLM even degraded winning models when handed them as a part of the prompt! Runanable ≠ competitive. These were not great programmers, just msc students the AI can't beat. #aamas
-
This is a massively parallel session event; when a speaker doesn't turn up without warning, then all the subsequent speakers suffer the loss of audience as well :-( #aamas #academicEthics

ha ha looks like they are basically at intermediate human play which is great, but they won against an expert at the world level and had to respect their desire not to say how MUCH they won. Their method is not superhuman but they're still pleased given the challenging domain. More teams, per team performance falls but generalisation rises; all open source and online. #aamas Cameron Angliss presented online Jiaheng Hu is here doing q&a.

looked like an excellent paper. itnereting question about when do you want to decieive? sad answer -- when you are in a conflict context. US SW authors weem very aware of that.
