Human cooperation is fundamental to the success of our species. But emerging machine intelligence poses new challenges to human cooperation. This talk explores two interrelated problems: How can we humans cooperate *through* machines--that is, agree among ourselves on how machines should behave? And how can we cooperate *with* machines--that is, convince self-interested machines to cooperate with us. The talk will then propose an interdisciplinary agenda for understanding and improving our human-machine ecology.
