Technology and Collective Intelligence (MSIN0237)

This course will introduce students to the science of collective intelligence and the practical applications of technology and artificial intelligence for harnessing human potential.  This course will cover the psychological and social psychological principles of group and team behavior including the role of group composition, the risks and benefits of conflict, and transactive memory systems.  A core focus of this course will be the theoretical principles of collective intelligence, including concepts such as crowdsourcing and the wisdom of crowds; computational models of decision-making and problem-solving; and the basic network science of human information systems. This course will review the latest research on the use of technological systems in managing and harnessing collective intelligence.  Examples include process design and digital communication tools; human/AI integration for hybrid intelligence systems; and crowdsourcing platforms such as predictions markets.  Throughout this course will include case studies of collective intelligence in practice and invite students to creatively imagine the possibilities of this new technological frontier.
