Collective Intelligence

In the first episode of Future Curious, we look at harnessing the power of the world brain - how can Collective Intelligence be used to solve our greatest problems?

Listen to the episode now

"It's very easy to talk about an integrated future, but we're at the beginning of this"
Professor Chris Lintott

We’ve all heard of Artificial Intelligence by now, but what about Collective Intelligence (CI)? How we can mobilise human intelligence for the benefit of society, and what can we achieve when we combine the collective intelligence of crowds with AI? Is CI the missing link that drives forward human development while embracing the opportunities of technological progress?

Joining Nesta's Nigel Campbell to discuss this are

Professor Chris Lintott, Professor of Astrophysics in the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford. Chris is is involved in a number of popular science projects including Zooniverse, the world's largest platform for people-powered research
Gregory Landua, CEO of Regen Network, a global community and platform focused on ecological monitoring and regeneration
Eva Grobbink, Researcher in Nesta's Centre for Collective Intelligence Design, working on ways to address how humans and computers can work together more intelligently in order to tackle social problems.

We also hear from Christine Von Raesfeld, patient advocate from PatientsLikeMe, which has been using Collective Intelligence in the field of health.
