Professor Massimo Poesio is coordinating one of the competitive and prestigious Dagstuhl Perspective Workshops at Schloss Dagsthul, the Leibniz Center for Informatics, intended to identify promising new fields and research directions in computer science.

QMUL's workshop, Human in the Loop Learning through Grounded Interaction in Games, organised in collaboration with the universities of Trento, Regensburg, Utrecht and Illinois, will bring together researchers from around the world to look at one of the most pressing questions in current AI: how we can make AI agents that understand the situation that they are operating in. Progress in Large Language Models (LLMs) has produced models such as ChatGPT and Bard with impressively human-like ability to generate language, answer questions and solve problems - but they still lack the ability to understand how their language relates to the physical (or virtual) world they inhabit, and how that changes over time through interaction. One promising approach to solve these problems is the use of online games to provide interactive environments in which an artificial agent can act, interact with other agents and humans, and learn. The workshop will discuss and propose possible ways to use these ideas to make significant steps forward in AI.
