Stanford Hosts Hackathon on How Humans and AI Agents Collaborate in Science
StanfordHAI · x · 2026-11-12
The Loyal Agents Initiative at Stanford Digital Economy Lab, co-led by Alex Pentland, is hosting a one-day hackathon on Nov 16 asking not how to build a better auto-research agent, but how many people and many agents collaborate across fields. Core themes: grounding (what researchers should share to find collaborators), syncing (agents noticing knowledge gaps proactively), and action (how agents help people get work done together). Participants can use Kordi, an open-source collaboration platform from Stanford HAI, and outputs range from demos to research proposals. Open to researchers, students, and builders worldwide.
