Project description
 

Artificial agents are designed to optimize individual objectives. Yet, when people commit to an agent and its implementation, it may impact the collective outcome of their social group. By means of game-theoretic models and behavioral experiments, we intend to answer whether using artificial delegates in such conflict-of-interest decisions will lead to better collective outcomes.
