Abstract

Tackling large scale problems like climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals, requires taking a collective approach. Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers tremendous potential to enhance collective intelligence, both as an actor that contributes to the solution directly, and as a tool and mentor that helps coordinate human collective intelligence. Collective Intelligence invited experts and practitioners to highlight key challenges and explain how they employ AI to advance novel solutions — Christoph Riedl & David De Cremer.
