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 dive into the world of agents, learn about responsible multimodal AI, apply generative AI to computer networks, and dig into the RoboCup@Work League. This month, Sanmay Das, Tom Dietterich, Sabine Hauert, Sarit Kraus, and Michael Littman tackled the topic of agentic AI, discussing recent developments, and lessons learned from the decades of research in the autonomous agents and multiagent systems community. The 34th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI2025) took place in Montréal from 16-22 August, with a satellite event currently being held (from 29-31 August) in Guangzhou, China. You can find out more about the programmes of both venues here, and get a flavour of what attendees got up to in our social media round-ups: Part one Part two.

RoboCup is an international scientific initiative with the goal of advancing the state of the art of intelligent robots, AI and automation. The annual RoboCup event, where teams gather from across the globe to take part in competitions across a number of leagues, this year took place in Salvador, Brazil from 15-21 July. In a series of interviews, we've been meeting some of the RoboCup trustees, committee members, and participants, to find out more about their respective leagues. Christoph Steup is an Executive Committee member and oversees the @Work League. Ahead of the event in Brazil, we spoke to Christoph to find out more about the @Work League, the tasks that teams need to complete, and future plans for the League.
