Course Information

Description

This course explores the evolution and state-of-the-art of Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems. While the field originated decades ago, the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) and modern AI has fundamentally transformed agent capabilities. This seminar-style course bridges the gap between foundational multiagent concepts—such as coordination, game theory, and competition—and contemporary developments in LLM-powered agents. Through lectures, student-led presentations of cutting-edge research, and invited speakers, students will examine how agents interact in complex environments and the implications for commercial and social impact. The course culminates in a final research project.
