Collective Intelligence Lab

TheCollective Intelligence Networkaims to make collective intelligence research, practice, and ideas available to the world, pushing forward our collective understanding of how to work better together.With podcast interviews, an extensive bibliography, articles, research summaries, and live presentations and events, we're bringing research to the public and building bridges between collective intelligence in different fields — from computer science to biology, from psychology to political science, and from corporate board rooms to community meeting rooms.Join us!Sign up for updates,follow CI network, orpropose a collaborative event or project.Adam McKentyis a useful label for a mysteriously consciousness-supporting collection of cells, molecules, and bacteria currently inhabiting a small island in the traditional territory of the Coast Salish people of what is sometimes called western Canada.Adam is a programmer, writer, and amateur scientist with a passion for finding ways that people can work together to create harmonious and sustainable human society on planet Earth.Twitter|Blog|Blog

Collective Intelligence Network

Collectives are everything, from the cells of our bodies and brains to the groups, nations, and ecosystems we are part of. Are there principles that characterise collective intelligence across scales? Have the factors that lead to human group performance been accurately measured? How do flocks of birds or swarms of bees make collective decisions, and are there lessons in them for human groups? When are crowds wise and when are they stupid? Can technology improve collective decisions? If so how, and by how much?
Drawing on research from academia, corporate performance optimisation, and group decision technology, we'll dive into the knowns and unknowns of collective intelligence and see where they lead. 
We'll start with an interactive presentation on some of the key findings on collective intelligence from psychology, biology, ecology, and elsewhere. 
Then, we'll take the research out of the journals and experiment with it, using conversational games, human swarming, voting by convergence, and other experiments to test our real-world sensitivity to collective intelligence principles and how they appear (or don't!) in the groups we're part of. 
Throughout, we'll tap the collective's intelligence about collective intelligence with reverse Q&A, discussion, and experimental group decisions about the flow of the event.
