Our workshop At the Roots of Collective Intelligence.
On the 15th October 2015 our group Collective Intelligence at Nesta and The Human Mind Project brought together experts from the social and cognitive sciences, public policy and information analysis, to discuss what makes groups smart, and how collaborative platforms can generate results that individual agents cannot achieve on their own. We discussed with Robin Dunbar, Chris Frith, Paolo Gerbaudo, Licia Capra, Colin Blakemore, Geoff Mulgan and many others what are the mechanisms behind the new forms of online collaboration and digital democracy.
