Abstract

The Agents, Interaction and Complexity research group at the University of Southampton has a long track record of research in multiagent systems (MAS). We have made substantial scientific contributions across learning in MAS, game-theoretic techniques for coordinating agent systems, and formal methods for representation and reasoning. We highlight key results achieved by the group and elaborate on recent work and open research challenges in developing trustworthy autonomous systems and deploying human-centred AI systems that aim to support societal good.

Funding Information:
We have been designing trustworthy and trusted multiagent systems for a number of application areas. Our research has been supported by multiple governmental and industrial organisations including BAE Systems, Thales, Dstl, Northrup Grumman, Secure Meters, QinetiQ and Boeing.

Funding Information:
We acknowledge contributions of past members of the AIC group and, in particular, Professor Nick Jennings for leading AIC to become a world-leading research group in multiagent systems research. This work is supported by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) through the Trustworthy Autonomous Systems Hub (EP/V00784X/1), a Turing AI Acceleration Fellowship on Citizen-Centric AI Systems (EP/V022067/1), the platform grant entitled “AutoTrust: Designing a Human-Centred Trusted, Secure, Intelligent and Usable Internet of Vehicles” (EP/R029563/1), and by the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Centre for Doctoral Training in Machine Intelligence for Nanoelectronic Devices and Systems (EP/S024298/1).
