Overview
The Digital Ecosystems Innovation Lab met in January to define common research themes and objectives for 2025. We learned that Innovation Lab members are studying and/or implementing diverse initiatives to improve ecosystem coordination through the use of AI.
In this RC Cafe, we will share several real-time cases and facilitate a discussion on the following research themes that have emerged in our Lab:
1) How does AI influence coordination at different ecosystem levels, and how does coordination influence AI design?
2) How does trust shape and influence multi-level coordination and outcomes in an ecosystem, and how can ‘trustless’ architectures (like AI agents and blockchain technologies) enable, constrain, or completely shift these dynamics?
3) Can AI be an agent without agency, because of the way it is developed? Or can it progressively develop its own agency?
Join this February Cafe, hosted by the Digital Ecosystems Innovation Lab, to explore the role of relational coordination in driving digital ecosystem success. Bring your ideas and questions!
