Updates in Cooperative AI

Although large language models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable technological successes, their effective application in economic domains—critical for realising their broader promise across society and markets—remains largely underexplored. This talk led by Haifeng Xu presents recent research efforts at bridging economic thinking and LLMs, with concrete instantiations in areas such as mechanism design, information design, and forecasting. A central theme of the talk is to illustrate how this emerging technology gives rise to genuinely new research questions even in foundational economic problems. The hope is that explorations along this line will help move LLM research towards realising its true economic impact in the real world.
