This document discusses collective intelligence and defines it as an intelligence that emerges from the collaboration and competition of many individuals or agents, acting more intelligently together than any could alone. It provides examples of collective intelligence in nature like ant and bee colonies, which lack central leaders but can adapt rapidly through simple behavioral rules and feedback systems. The document also discusses how connecting people and computers could lead to collective intelligence on a larger scale.
2. Why we need
collective intelligence?
The ingenuity gap;
complexity drives challenges at exponential speed
3. C.I. de?nition
... is an intelligence that emerges from the
collaboration and competition of many
individuals (agents), an intelligence that
seemingly has a mind of its own.

be connected so that¡ªcollectively

humanist de?nition
quot;the capacity of human communities to evolve
towards higher order complexity
and harmony, through such innovation
mechanisms as differentiation and integration,
competition and collaboration. quot;

stupid, how can we act
smart collectively?
8. Ants colony
? Queen is not the central
commander, in fact, no
commander at all.
? Each ant is relatively
stupid, simple rule of
behavior.
? Yet adaptive to rapid
changes. From ?ghting to
?nding & storing food
? Rely on feedbacks such
as pheromone
