How can we conceptualize and construct artificial agents with rich autonomy? How can we use computational models to understand the agency of humans, and shape the collaboration between human and AI agents? Our panel brings a group of thinkers about artificial agency, motivation, emotion and sociality together, to discuss how intrinsic motivation gives rise to goal directed behavior, the organization of cognitive structure, multi agent collaboration and ethics.

Talks:
Cristiano Castelfranchi: Grounding Sociality in Goal Theory

Christian Balkenius: Motivation, Emotion, and Attention

Dietrich Dörner: The Competence Motivation

Joscha Bach: Motivation for individual and collective agency
