Vincent Conitzer is the Kimberly J. Jenkins University Professor of New Technologies and Professor of Computer Science, Professor of Economics, and Professor of Philosophy at Duke University. He received Ph.D. (2006) and M.S. (2003) degrees in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University, and an A.B. (2001) degree in Applied Mathematics from Harvard University. Conitzer works on artificial intelligence (AI). Much of his work has focused on AI and game theory, for example designing algorithms for the optimal strategic placement of defensive resources. More recently, he has started to work on AI and ethics: how should we determine the objectives that AI systems pursue, when these objectives have complex effects on various stakeholders?

Odd Eric is an adjunct associate professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway, where he teaches courses and supervises master students in AI. He received his PhD from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Gundersen has applied AI in the industry, mostly for startups, since 2006.  He has conducted several analysis of reproducibility in the artificial intelligence and machine learning literature, and has developed guidelines for reproducibility in data science.  Currently, he investigates how AI can be applied in the renewable energy sector and for driver training.

Emmanuel graduate research assistant at the University of Southern California’s Institute for Creative Technologies, advised by Dr. Jonathan Gratch. My interest is in building artificial intelligent negotiation training systems that personalized for each user. I hold a Masters in Robotics from the University of Birmingham, through a Fulbright Fellowship, and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Engineering from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. 

Prof. Barry Smyth holds the Digital Chair of Computer Science in University College Dublin and is a Director of the Insight Centre for Data Analytics. He is a Fellow of the European Coordinating Committee on Artificial Intelligence (ECCAI) since 2003 and a Member of the Royal Irish Academy since 2011. In 2014 Barry was awarded an Honrary Doctor of Technology (Hons. D.Tech) from Robert Gordon University in the UK. Barry was the Director of the Clarity Centre for Sensor Web Technologies (2008 - 2013) and has previously held the position of Head of School for the School of Computer Science and Informatics in UCD.Barry's research interests fall within the field Artificial Intelligence and include case-based reasoning, machine learning, recommender systems, user modeling and personalization.

Kokil's research interests lie in examining the role of social media platforms in enabling self-presentation and social behaviour. Her particular interest is in developing computational models of language for the measurement and understanding of computer-mediated communication. 

Before joining NUS in 2020, Kokil spent a year as a Presidential Postdoctoral fellow at Nanyang Technological University, and two years (2016-2018) as a CS postdoc at the University of Pennsylvania. She has also spent three years (2013-2016) in the industry, as a Data Scientist at Adobe developing research and analytical capabilities for digital marketing tools. Her research has been published in the Journal of Communication, Computers in Human Behaviour, and Telematics and Informatics.

John an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland, with a joint appointment in the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS). He holds a PhD in computer science from Carnegie Mellon. At Maryland, he is also formally affiliated with the Applied Mathematics & Statistics, and Scientific Computation (AMSC) program, as well as the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory (HCIL) and Maryland Transportation Institute (MTI). 

Peter is the founder and director of the Learning Agents Research Group (LARG) within the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in the Department of Computer Science at The University of Texas at Austin, as well as associate department chair and chair of the University's Robotics Consortium.

He was a co-founder of Cogitai, Inc. and is now Executive Director of Sony AI America.

Dr. Stephen M. Russell is Chief of the Battlefield Information Processing Branch at the US Army Research Laboratory in Adelphi, MD. Previously, he was at the US Naval Research Laboratory. Dr. Russell has a long history of research in the areas of networking, information management, recommender systems, and network agents. Currently, his research is focused on Internet of Things and its applicability to the US Army and the US Military. He leads the ARL research program on Internet of Battlefield Things, which is focused on multiple challenges to incorporating IoT ideas and capabilities within the battlefield environment.

Sidd is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science in the School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering at Arizona State University. His research objective is to develop intelligent robots and software agents that assist humans in their daily lives. Towards this objective, his research focuses on developing formal frameworks, algorithms and implementations that allow autonomous agents to reason and act efficiently under uncertainty. The results of his work range from theoretical analyses to empirical demonstrations in the real world.

Ariel's main research area is heuristic search . He is also interested in mobile agents in unknown physical environments.
