Course setup

This module covers aspects of interaction and collaboration. This involves both how human and machines interact, but also how multi-agent systems with many units with individual goals and information behave. We also touch upon societal impact and ethics of AI and autonomous systems.

The module consists of the following elements

• Self-study material connected to examination assignments
  
  • You are expected to study the material and we encourage you to do so in groups
• Local sessions (see schedule below)
  • Here you meet the other students in WASP at your university and help form the network that WASP has as an important objective. 
  • Some sessions will be of hands-on nature where we work together. What is done at these sessions is documented so that it can be done on your own as well, but we expect that these sessions will save time for you 
  • Some sessions will be to examine work. These are mandatory to attend. If you cannot attend you MUST let the local point of contact know in advance.
• 2-day session for everyone together
• Examination assignments
