If you are curious, or puzzled about what “collective intelligence” means, in both research and practice, here you will learn what a lot of other people have said, and probably get even more confused! I will try, however, to create a comprehensive and cohesive picture by synthesizing:
1. Theoretical Ideas (spanning philosophy of mind, distributed cognition, psychology and… robotics),
2. Empirical Evidence (including neuro-science and social psychology), and
3. Applications and Implications for research and practice.

No background needed. This may be of interest to students and guests from any discipline.

Yiftach Nagar is a Doctoral Candidate at Sloan, working at the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence.

Single session event
Prereq: Collective Intelligence 101 (offered in IAP, same day in the

This session is a an open, guided brainstorm/group discussion targeted for people who have participated in the introductory session (Collective-intelligence 101), and aimed to discuss two important questions:
1. What are the most interesting / important / burning issues for collective-intelligence research?
2. If we are to study group intelligence – what are the best ways to do that?
Guaranteed to be an interesting discussion!
