The Social Superorganism and its Global Brain. Collective intelligence - Extelligence.org. The Mind Gym Collective intelligence is evident in non-human as well as human societies and systems. In human systems, as others, it is NOT consensus. A prime example of collective intelligence is with the 'social' insects, such as bees (see left), wasps, ants and termites. Hence a shorthand for this kind of intelligence is sometimes referred to as 'dumb ants, smart colony'. James Surowiecki in The Wisdom of Crowds (see youtube extract below) asserts 'smart' decisions, i.e. collective intelligence happens when four conditions are met: First , diversity of agents (whether human or not), secondly , independence of the agents and thirdly, decentralisation (agents are able to specialise and draw on local knowledge) and lastly, aggregation (some mechanism exists to take individual judgments into a collective decision).
Collective intelligence is often (but not always) good at solving three kinds of problems: Symbiotic Intelligence Project: Main Page. The goal is to analyze and facilitate how people, in the process of accessing and using information on networks, create new knowledge without premeditation.
We argue that the symbiotic combination of humans and smart networks will result in a previously unrealized capability of collective problem identification and solution. This capability is based on the pre-existing self-organizing dynamics of social evolution. This symbiotic intelligence will greatly increase the success of organizations in achieving their goals, better utilizing their resources and preparing for the future. For the human society as a whole, this new resource will improve our quality of life and vitality as a species. The Project Motivation We envision an unprecedented capability in organizational and societal problem solving will result from increased human activity on smart distributed information systems, like the Internet.

Bios: Julie Beischel and Mark Boccuzzi have been performing full-time research on anomalous cognition and nonlocal consciousness for a combined 14 years. Mark Bocuzzi is currently an associate member of the Parapsychological Association and the recipient of a research grant from the Helene Reeder Memorial Fund for Research into Life after Death. Center for Consciousness Studies . Tucson . Arizona. L’intelligence collective n’est pas l’apanage du web. Dans son acception moderne, l'intelligence collective recouvre l'interactivité entre des myriades d'individus.
Pourtant, il existe une définition beaucoup plus physiologique. Qu’entend-on généralement par “intelligence collective” ? Pour le monde du web, la messe est dite : c’est le produit émergent de l’interaction entre plusieurs milliers, voire millions d’individus, certains ne partageant avec les autres qu’une quantité minimale de leur réflexion (c’est la théorie du surplus cognitif chère à Clay Shirky, comme il l’a développe dans on livre éponyme ou chez TED). Arts-Science Encounters. The Curious Child 5:15pm, Tuesday 11 June, Humanities Research Institute, Gell Street, Sheffield The 'Curious Child' is a familiar figure in literature, popular culture and science.
In children's books, curious children range from mischievous young figures to restless adventurers. In Developmental and Educational Psychology, too, children are understood through curiosity, and curiosity through childhood. This session explores the figure of the curious child, attempting to distinguish myth from reality. Kim Streets, Director of Museums Sheffield, will chair the session.

Plus ludique que l'intelligence artificielle, l'intelligence collective, soit la mise en relation via le net d'une grande quantité de cerveaux humains, vient de réaliser quelques prouesses.
