    Consensus Reaching in Multi-Agent Decision Making: the Role of Fuzzy Logic, Human Judgments, Biases and Fairness Analyses

    Consensus reaching in multi-agent decision making: the role of fuzzy logic, human judgments, biases and fairness analyses Janusz Kacprzyk Fellow of IEEE, IFSA, EurAI, SMIA Full Member, Polish Academy of Sciences Foreign Member, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences Member, Academia Europaea Member, European Academy of Sceinces and Arts Foreign Member, Spanish Royal Academy of Economic and Financial Sciences Systems Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences ul. Newelska 6, 01-447 Warsaw, Poland Email: [email protected] Abstract Decision making processes involving multiple agents (individuals, actors, decision makers, etc.) is concerned, and small groups of agents are assumed. The agents provide theirn testimonies, here their (fuzzy or graded) preferences. As a point of departure the reaching of consensus is discussed that may be claimed to lead to “better” decisions. A “soft” concept of consensus is assumed, in the sense of Kacprzyk and Fedrizzi (1987 - …) meant as a degree to which, e.g., “most of relevant agents agree as to their preferences (or other testimonies as, e.g., ordering of options) as to almost all crucial options”. The fuzzy majority, equated with linguistic quantifiers, is dealt with using the classic Zadeh’s calculus, OWA operators, etc. As usually, we mean consensus as a state of agreement in a group, as a way to reach consensus in the sense of time evolution of changes of the agents’ testimonies, and also as a way decision making should proceed in multiegent settings. Basically, consensus decision making aims at attaining the consent, not necessarily the agreement, of agents involved account for views of all agents involved to attain a decision that will be beneficial to the group as a whole, not necessarily to the particular agents who may give consent even if this will not be their first choice but just acceptable, to offer their willingness to cooperate.

Nalepa ∗, Jerzy Stefanowski y Abstract. In last years Artificial Intelligence presented a tremendous progress by offering a variety of novel methods, tools and their spectacular applications. Besides showing scientific breakthroughs it attracted interest both of the general public and industry. It also opened heated debates on the impact of Artificial Intelligence on changing the economy and society. Having in mind this international landscape, in this short paper we discuss the Polish AI research community, some of its main achievements, opportunities and limitations. We put this discussion in the context of the current developments in the international AI community. Moreover, we refer to activities of Polish scientific associations and their initiative of founding Polish Alliance for the Development of Artificial Intelligence (PP-RAI). Finally two last editions of PP-RAI joint conferences are summarized. 1. Introductory remarks Artificial Intelligence (AI) began as an academic discipline nearly 70 years ago, while during the Dartmouth conference in 1956 the expression Artificial Intelligence was coined as the label for it. Since that time it has been evolving a lot and developing in the cycles of optimism and pessimism [27]. In the first period research in several main subfields were started but the expectations the founders put were not fully real- ized.

Hirota, Vesa Niskenan, Masoud Nikravesh, Henri Prade, Enric Trillas, Burhan Turksen, Ron Yager, Lotfi A. Zadeh Predicting the future of fuzzy logic is difficult if fuzzy logic is interpreted in its wide sense, that is, a theory in which everything is or is allowed to be a matter of degree. But what is certain is that as we move further into the age of machine intelligence and mechanized decision-making, both theoretical and applied aspects of fuzzy logic will gain in visibility and importance. What will stand out is the unique capability of fuzzy logic to serve as a basis for reasoning and computation with information described in natural language. No other theory has this capability. Moderator: Burhan Turksen: I.B. Türksen received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Industrial Engineering and the Ph.D. degree in Systems Management and Operations Research all from the University of Pittsburgh, PA.
