The Sixth Annual ACM SIGecom Winter Meeting

The Sixth SIGecom Winter Meeting will take place Wednesday, February 25, 2026, at 11am - 5pm Eastern time.

The annual SIGecom Winter Meeting brings together researchers from economics and computation and adjacent communities, with the goal of strengthening research connections.

This year's topic is the interplay of Algorithmic Game Theory, AI, and Law.

Description: Algorithms are embedded in every aspect of our society, and with AI the scale of their influence is greater than ever. This makes it a great time to be thinking of questions like:

  1. How do we design and build algorithms and AI that interact legally and responsibly with human players, especially in economic environments?
  2. How do we design the regulations that govern algorithms and AI, without hindering innovation?
  3. What can algorithmic and AI tools contribute to the analysis and coherence of law, with its volume of legal texts and decisions? Do mathematical formulations apply?
  4. Can a law-based approach complement mechanism, contract and information design to help address market failures?

The workshop will cover established and emergent research topics in the intersection of CS and law. Some concrete examples include:

The intended audience is the AGT community as well as the growing scientific community spanning the disciplines of CS and Law. No prior knowledge is assumed.

Registration

The event is free of charge, but registration is required for access to the virtual space. Register link to be posted.

Virtual Venue
