Agentic AI and Complex Decision-Making: How to Think Like a Dragonfly

There is a lot of focus in the AI field currently on how software engineers are orchestrating multiple agents to achieve engineering goals. But what would it look like to orchestrate agents to help model complex problems to enable people to make better decisions? Anthea Roberts will talk about the multi-agent systems that she is building to apply the concept of Dragonfly Thinking—seeing complex problems in an integrative way through combining multiple lenses—to a variety of complex problems, such as AI and the legal field, the Iran-US conflict, and the investment screening in a world of increased US-China competition. In the process, she will also discuss how AI is changing her own approach to work and what she envisages for the future of work in law and other knowledge work fields.

This event is open to Harvard ID holders only.

Co-sponsored by the HLS Center on the Legal Profession, the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society, and the Library Innovation Lab. Light snacks will be served.
