116 – Collective Intelligence

IDEMS co-directors David Stern and Kate Fleming consider the concept of collective intelligence and its implications for society and technology. The discussion covers the relationship to artificial intelligence, misinformation, and how collective intelligence can be utilised to help address global issues like climate change and systemic problems by democratising and elevating diverse forms of expertise. By emphasising the role of marginalised communities in developing inclusive technology, collective intelligence can lead to better societal outcomes and more effective solutions.
