From traffic navigation apps to social networks, algorithms and data have become indispensable. With large language models that build algorithms on massive data sets, the deployment of artificial intelligence has become ubiquitous. The question of how to collect, aggregate, and disseminate information among diverse individuals in a decentralized society is critical for the functioning of democracy, as well as fair and efficient markets.
CADMY’s goal is to initiate and support research and teaching around the fundamental questions that arise at the intersection of computer science, data science, economics, and computational social sciences at large. CADMY aims to support Yale faculty and students with their research in relevant areas, and will serve as a platform to host visiting faculty and postdoctoral fellows, promoting ongoing academic engagement and advancement.
