Event description

Collective Intelligence

Intersecting, urgent challenges are precipitating large-scale crises, ecological, democratic, military, health and educational, to name just a few. This complexity is overwhelming our sensemaking capacity, provoking deep reflection across government, business, civic society and the academy. Fields as diverse and intersecting as organisation science, cognitive science, computer science and neuroscience are converging on the importance of Collective Intelligence (CI), ranging in scale from small teams to companies, to global networks.

Hybrid Collective Intelligence

In our digitally enabled, connected world, it is natural that CI constitutes more than the collective ability of relatively unaided people’s minds. Computational platforms make new forms of discourse and coordination possible. Artificial Intelligence (AI) adds machine actors to the network, with human-agent teaming research clarifying the conditions under which professionals come to trust AI agents as members of the team. The explosive arrival of large language models combined with conversational user interfaces is the most recent technical advance, opening new possibilities for human-computer creativity and sensemaking.

The challenge for Higher Education

It seems uncontroversial to argue that citizens should be equipped for this new world, but to date, it is unclear what it means to educate for CI.
