AI in Science Collaboration Hackathon at Stanford

Mon, Nov 16 · 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM · Stanford CoDA E160 The Loyal Agents Initiative at the Stanford Digital Economy Lab and InterStitch are hosting a one-day hackathon on how researchers find each other, share what they know, and work together with AI. Most work on AI for science asks how to build a better auto-research agent. We’re asking something else: how do people and agents work together on research? We mean many people and many agents, across many fields. Core questions we’ll explore Grounding: What should researchers share about themselves so the right collaborators can find them? How can agents help people reach common ground?Syncing: What’s the best way to share progress and information? Can agents be more cooperative, noticing gaps in what people know and filling them before anyone asks?Action: How should agents help people get work done together, and what does that mean for human intelligence? How it works You can use Kordi, an open-source collaboration platform developed at Stanford HAI and the Digital Economy Lab, to meet other participants, get matched with collaborators, and work alongside AI agents. You can also build your own version of what better collaboration should look like. Any kind of output counts: a demo, an app or website, a research proposal, or a research finding. Who should come Researchers, students, and builders from any field, from Stanford or anywhere else. You don’t need to know how to code. A few special guests will join us to build and to judge. Lunch and dinner are provided. How to apply Register here on Luma, or fill out our application form. Either one works. We’ll review your application and let you know when you’re admitted.
