Swarm Intelligence among Humans - Hype or Hope? | Heiner Koppermann | TEDxRWTHAachen

We humans did not evolve into swarm intelligent beings. As it seems today, we are more of a selfish kind of species. But the question remains if we, with the help of technology and certain changes in attitude, could benefit from swarm intelligence? Heiner Koppermann is the Co-founder and CEO of SwarmWorks Ltd. (Germany) and SwarmWorks, Inc. (USA), both specializing in the development and deployment of technologies for interactive live communication and audience engagement. Heiner, who combines 25 years of experience as manager, consultant, facilitator and speaker will take you to the answer in his talk. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Lol I was getting into that game. Swarm intelligence is very interesting, ive been looking into it lately. I very much agree and look forward to it being applied in bigger ways to human society.

Linux Mint logo spotted 12:28. Like this presentation. Wonder if we can create decision tree type live questionnaires where participants take decisions by following branches of the tree and the successive questions keep changing depending on the majority branch taken at each level of the tree. More deliberation is required about this but we can definitely do it if a large number of humans get interested in such experiments.
