In this interview series, we're meeting some of the AAAI/SIGAI Doctoral Consortium participants to find out more about their research. Tanmay Ambadkar is researching the reward structure in reinforcement learning, with the goal of providing generalizable solutions that can provide robust guarantees and are easily deployable. We caught up with Tanmay to find out more about his research, and in particular, the constrained reinforcement learning framework he has been working on. Tell us a bit about your PhD - where are you studying, and what is the topic of your research? I am a 4th year PhD candidate at The Pennsylvania State University, PA, USA.

Welcome to our monthly digest, where you can catch up with any AIhub stories you may have missed, peruse the latest news, recap recent events, and more. This month, we explore multi-agent systems and collective decision-making, dive into neurosymbolic Markov models, and find out how robots can acquire skills through interactions with the physical world. What if AI were designed not only to optimize choices for individuals, but to help groups reach decisions together? AIhub Ambassador Liliane-Caroline Demers interviewed Kate Larson whose research explores how AI can support collective decision-making. She reflected on what drew her into the field, why she sees AI playing a role in consensus and democratic processes, and why she believes multi-agent systems deserve more attention.

In this interview series, we're meeting some of the AAAI/SIGAI Doctoral Consortium participants to find out more about their research. We sat down with Maxime Meyer to chat about his current research, future plans, and how he found the doctoral consortium experience. Could you start with an introduction to yourself, where you're studying and the topic of your research? My research focuses on large language models. Which aspect of large language models are you looking at?

WIRED spoke with Nick Fox, Google's SVP of knowledge and information, about how AI is changing the company's advertising business. Google executives have insisted for months that the company has no immediate plans to put ads in Gemini. But in an interview with WIRED, Google's senior vice president of knowledge and information, Nick Fox, says the tech giant is "not ruling them out." "I would expect that the learnings that we get from ads in AI Mode would likely carry over to what we might want to do in the Gemini app down the road," says Fox. "It's an odd thing to say, but our research shows that users actually like ads within the context of Search. Over time, we'll figure out what makes sense in the Gemini app." Google has spent the past year racing to catch up with OpenAI in the AI chatbot market.
