Future-Ready Society Conference Series: Learning Journey 4 - Harnessing Collective Intelligence

Collective intelligence is created when people collaborate, often with the aid of technology, to gather and utilize diverse information, ideas, and perspectives to tackle complex social challenges. In this learning journey, participants will explore such innovative methodologies from two real-life examples.
The Collective Intelligence Design Lab of MIT’s Centre for Collective Intelligence helps groups design innovative kinds of collectively intelligent systems, what they call ‘superminds’ to solve important problems. They are not just focused on using new information technologies, but also on how to organize people in new ways so that the 'superminds' of people and computers together can solve problems more intelligently. They have created a Supermind Design Primer that gives an overview of their approach.
Through case studies and discussions, participants will gain insights into how collective intelligence can be applied in different contexts, fostering diverse voices and common goals. Join us with speaker Robert Laubacher, Associate Director of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence (CCI), on this Learning Journey 4.
