This week we are inviting you to join in on our bi-weekly group meeting for a special talk by Prof. Miguel Couceiro where he will present results from his upcoming AAAI 2026 paper.

GAIPS researchers Henrique Fonseca & António Fernandes explore whether media can act as a soft regulator for safe AI, using game theory. Presented at #ALIFE2025 after the 2025 AI Governance Modelling Workshop at Teesside University. 🔗Paper: direct.mit.edu/isal/proceedin…

Level up! 🎮✨ GAIPS member Miguel Belbute spent the day teaching 3rd-graders the basics of game design and development — and it was awesome! 👾💡 Part of “Engenharia para Todos”, promoting scientific & tech literacy in Oeiras. 🚀💛

Last month, GAIPS member @diogosscarvalho presented this paper at EPIA 2025! You can read the work here: rdcu.be/eNUsT

Excited to have contributed to the OECD’s AI & Future of Skills project! 🚀 We helped develop the Social Interaction scale, measuring AI’s ability to perceive & respond to social cues—a key step toward understanding social intelligence in robots and AI. #AI #SocialIntelligence
