Many thanks to @hertiedatascience.bsky.social for the invite, the great discussions, and this blog piece about my talk yesterday!
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.
