The Role of Computational Social Science in Policymaking - Session 6
Explore the role of computational social science in policymaking through this panel discussion featuring world-leading academics. Learn about the launch of the Modelling for Policy Theme by the Alan Turing Institute's Public Policy programme. Gain insights from expert panelists Dr. Omar A Guerrero, Professor Leigh Tesfatsion, Professor Joshua Epstein, and Professor Robert L Axtell as they discuss topics such as micro data, agent-based computational platforms, bottom-to-top empirical validation, fisheries management, iterative participatory modeling, customer-centric modeling, digital twins, electric power systems, and quantifying uncertainty. Recorded during AIUK 22, the Alan Turing Institute's national annual showcase of data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, this 56-minute session offers valuable perspectives on the intersection of computational social science and policy development.
