This symposium focuses on agent teaming in mixed-motive situations that
arise naturally when agents have different goals, incentives, and
decision-making processes. In this symposium, we consider an “agent” to be
either a goal-directed computational agent, whether embodied or not, or a
human. Agents may be tempted to prioritize their individual interests over
the long-term success of the group, leading to competition, cooperation,
coordination, or indifference toward other agents. To navigate these
dynamics, agents need to understand the goals and intentions of others,
identify potential allies or adversaries, align their values with others,
and carefully manage information sharing with other agents. Additionally,
when humans and computational AI agents collaborate in mixed teams,
additional complexities arise, including issues of language comprehension,
decision-making transparency, and social cue interpretation.

This symposium emphasizes the key challenges in agent teaming within
mixed-motive situations: How should agents take actions, given that actions
reveal information to allies, adversaries, and other agents? How can agents
take actions for goal/intention alignment? How can agents identify allies,
adversaries, or other agents and model subteams? What kinds of
representations best enable mixed-motive interactions? How can agents
assess the intent and proficiency of other agents? How can agents assess
the degree of cooperation by other agents? How should agents communicate
with allies, adversaries, or other agents?



*Symposium format*The symposium will include invited keynote talks, panels,
breakout discussions, accepted papers talks, and a poster session.
