Artificial vs Natural Intelligence
Over this 7-part series, we’ve explored how natural systems — ants, bees, birds, and brains — solve problems through emergence, not instruction.

AgentSociety Applies Liquid Democracy to Autonomous Agent Cooperation
AgentSociety proposes a framework where autonomous agents cooperate through mechanisms borrowed from social choice theory and liquid democracy. Agents delegate authority, route information, and form consensus-based decision paths using only local knowledge and incentive-compatible behaviour.

29-Nov-2026 Hong Kong - DAI 2026 places coordination, markets, agent infrastructure, and societies of autonomous agents at the center of distributed AI research. The event reflects growing industry interest in systems where intelligence emerges from cooperation among many specialized agents rather than from a single monolithic model.

Read moreThe Internet of Agentic AI - Collective Intelligence at Scale
The paper proposes an “Internet of Agentic AI” in which autonomous agents discover each other, negotiate responsibilities, exchange context, coordinate workflows, and operate across organizational boundaries. The framing draws heavily from distributed systems, collective intelligence, and decentralized coordination.
