The benefits of Collective Intelligence is pretty self-evident and manifests in several shapes and forms in our everyday life.
As Thomas Maloney puts it, "Collective Intelligence is about groups of individuals acting collectively in ways that seem intelligent".
In fact, exhibiting collective intelligence is not just limited to human beings, but to the entire living species. Ants operating as a colony do remarkable things, when compared to the individual ant, which is not very bright.
In contrast, a single individual could function as a trimtab and is capable of steering the massive ship of humanity, by their individual intelligence.
Not just the Teslas and Einsteins of the world, but there are millions of us, albeit in differing Contexts and Grades.
Connected Intelligence is about creating a spontaneous network of individual intelligence that achieves a common purpose, without the need for a planned orchestration.
Technology presents many possibilities for designing affordances for the Connected Intelligence.
