MIT Quest Workshop on Collective Intelligence

Almost everything humans have achieved has been done by groups of people working together. Financial markets operate on this principle of collective intelligence to set prices for stocks, as do Internet search engines to answer questions asked by thousands before. Computers can make groups even smarter, but how should humans and machines interact? This workshop will explore the ways that people and machines, working separately and together, can leverage their relative strengths, resolve conflict and create value for society.
