Collective Intelligence

• Human intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills

• Collective intelligence is the ability of a network of people to acquire and apply knowledge and skills at a rate that far exceeds that of the individual

• Micro-foundation of collective human intelligence is the tacit-explicit dialogue:

Tacit-Explicit Dialogues = 2N – N – 1
