Computational social choice is a research field at the intersection of artificial intelligence, theoretical computer science and economics. It consists of analysing problems arising from the aggregation of preferences of a group of agents from a computational perspective. Some of its subfields are various forms of voting, public decision making (e.g., participatory budgeting), fair division of resources, and matching with preferences (e.g., university-student matching). The interplay of computer science (and especially AI) and social choice has not only lead to developing algorithms for collective decision making: it has helped reshaping and revitalising the field, by identifying new paradigms, new problems, new objects of study. I will briefly present the field and then I will give some examples of such new paradigms, problems, or objects of study. The ten little talks mentioned in the title refer to potential talks: I will (obviously!) talk about less than ten topics, but these will be selected out of ten candidates by the attendance through a vote.
