SCIENTIFIC MEETING
Collective Intelligence: forms, functions and evolution across species, societies, and industries
Scientific discussion meeting organized by the School of Collective Intelligence at the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, Rabat, Morocco.
Overview
Collective Intelligence (CI) refers to intelligent behavior in a group that can surpass the capacities of any of its members, by harnessing the contributions of multiple individuals. It is crucial to the evolutionary success of humans and numerous other species.
The goal of this meeting is to facilitate dialogue between scholars who study CI in a diverse range of disciplines from biology to computer science, and across a wide range of populations, from insects to fish to rodents, to non-human primates, to small-scale human societies and industrialized ones. We aim to bring together advances in CI research from across these groups to better understand the cognitive evolution of humans and species and discuss how CI can address contemporary challenges.
The schedule of talks and speaker biographies are available below.
Recordings of the presentations will be available on this page after the meeting.
