Welcome to Cooperative AI Lab website! Our research aim is to enable machines to exhibit cooperative and safe behavior in intelligent decision making tasks. To this end, we work on multi-agent cooperation, human-AI coordination, and scalable alignment, which includes human value learning, safety, and ethics.
