Recommendation

Can people harness the power of collective intelligence to solve the world’s most intractable problems? What does the “global mind” look like? Will AI take away jobs? Thomas W. Malone, founder of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence, provides a fascinating portrait of a future in which the collaboration of human and artificial intelligence will transform society’s “hierarchies, democracies, markets, communities and ecosystems.” Offering scope and insight in engaging, accessible language, Malone imagines a global mind encompassing all other “superminds” and articulates humanity’s deepest connections.

Take-Aways

  • Individuals collaborating intelligently to achieve goals comprise a “supermind.”
  • AI will augment human general intelligence with specialized intelligence.
  • Technology will transform the five superminds that make up human society.
