From the founding director of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence comes an exploration of the extraordinary intelligence displayed by groups of people and computers working together. While many believe humans are the most intelligent beings, groups of people can be even smarter. This groundbreaking work illustrates how collective human efforts—through structures like hierarchies, markets, democracies, and communities—have driven nearly all significant achievements in various fields. The author demonstrates that these superminds are poised to become even more intelligent. By leveraging computers to connect individuals in innovative ways, we can enhance the capabilities of these groups. Although the evolution may be gradual, the rise of artificial intelligence will further amplify the effectiveness of superminds through advanced cognitive processes. The implications of these developments are vast, influencing everything from grocery shopping and business strategies to responses to climate change and democratic processes. By understanding the dynamics of collectively intelligent groups, we can better harness their potential to meet human objectives. Drawing on cutting-edge research and insights from diverse disciplines, this work presents a compelling vision of the future that will transform how we collaborate with both people and technology.
