The first global conference on algorithmacy — how workers coordinate with one another through an algorithmic third party. Four keynotes on Wednesday, featured speakers and panels Thursday–Friday, and a field day at the Pitch Lake.
KEYNOTE 01Roger HuntAI engineer and convenor, Global Algorithmacy ConferenceHow do people navigate dynamic interactions?
KEYNOTE 02Antonio ScalaResearch Director, CNR and Professor, Sapienza University of RomeWhen the mediator also structures the interaction: how algorithmic systems shape what counts as action, response, and responsibility
KEYNOTE 03Antonio MeleLondon School of Economics and Political ScienceAI-Enhanced Learning

Algo·rith·macy
The competency through which a worker coordinates with another human
through an algorithmic third party. A new coordination form — named, and convened around, for the first time.
What field accounts reveal the texture of algorithmically-mediated work as it is actually done?
What can be learned from those who have left algorithmic platforms about what failed for them?
Review
Open, signed, published, timestamped.
Open
Submissions and review threads live on the public repository from the moment of intake. There is no anonymized submission stage.
Signed
Reviewers attach their names to their assessments. Accountability is a feature of the review, not a compromise of it.
Published
An open PR is under review; merging it is acceptance. Accepted papers appear on the Accepted Papers board alongside their full review history — reviewer reports, author responses, and revision trail. Full papers are organized and published by Hult International Business School (Boston) after peer review.
Timestamped
Your pull request is a public, dated record. In any future priority dispute, the conference will support your claim based on the PR timestamp.
After established open-review practice at F1000Research, eLife, OpenReview.net, and The BMJ.
A double-blind workflow is incompatible with a public-PR intake; open review is the methodologically honest fit — and consonant with the conference's own questions about algorithmic opacity and accountability.
Accepted Papers
open review · published
A submission is a public pull request. While it is open it is under review; once it is accepted, the pull request is merged and the paper is listed here with its full, signed review history.
Beyond the conference, the same coordination form is being tested computationally. The public algorithmacy-lab applies exact integrated information (Φ, from IIT 4.0, via PyPhi) to organizational coordination, driven by a six-stage AI-assisted protocol that takes one question to a finished paper — 134+ logged experiments, hypotheses fixed before computing, nulls reported as first-class results. These are in-silico results on small models, computed exactly: a proof-of-method and a research agenda, not settled claims about real firms.

Studio
A local model, on a computer you own.
We put a computer in a small office or a home, install a local model, and keep the daily jobs running. The first 10 home and office installs: free covers our labor for the installation and ongoing maintenance. It does not include the computer or equipment. You supply your own computer, or you buy it at the store price. Free maintenance for life is in exchange for your continued endorsement and testimonial. Restrictions apply. After that, $5,000 to set up and $1,000 a month.
