Research Council of Finland Award 2023, Simo Hosio: harnessing the intelligence of crowds

The 2023 Research Council of Finland Award is presented to Simo Hosio, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering of the University of Oulu. Hosio studies how to harness crowd intelligence.
He boldly approaches difficult societal problems with the help of crowd computing and crowdsourcing. How can the inherent intelligence of large numbers of people, crowds, be harnessed through technologies such as the internet, artificial intelligence and algorithms, in particular to tackle health-related challenges?
The technology developed by Hosio’s research team has been widely applied in research on mental health among young people, back pain, sleep quality and Parkinson’s disease, among others.
“Crowdsourcing is one of the best ways to feed AI with reliable data. By tapping into the collective knowledge and insights of crowds, we can solve societal problems and bring concrete help to people suffering from health problems, for example,” Hosio says.
