I met Lee at Reboot two years ago (notes here) and have been very interested in his work ever since. Here are my notes about the presentation above:
• human mind is better at processing heterogeneous data, makes better decisions
• let’s feed our minds rather than machines, in theory that should lead to better decisions.
• but as of today, our tools get worse as more people use them. It should be the opposite!
• collective intelligence has boundaries, there is no global collective intelligence, rather a per organization/culture/application intelligence.
• at some point, systems scale so big that there is room for numerous ecosystems (think wikipedia, there are different collectivities inside of it now it’s that big)
• the good thing is that, pertinent information seems to hit us at some point. If you don’t find it, the social filter will always bring it back to you.
• an organization can maximize the return of these social filters by following a few rules (syndicate everything, learn from people behavior – who’s reading what etc… – get the info rather than wait for it, etc…)
