  Collective intelligence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Collective intelligence, as characterized by Tom Atlee, Douglas Engelbart, Cliff Joslyn, Francis Heylighen, Ron Dembo, and other theorists, is a working form of intelligence which overcomes "groupthink" and individual cognitive bias in order to allow a collective to cooperate on one process—while maintaining reliable intellectual performance.
While group and artificial intelligence have something to offer, collective intelligence is at its roots a human enterprise in which mind-sets, a willingness to share, and an openness to the value of distributed intelligence for the common good are paramount.
Collective intelligence is an amplification of the precepts of the Founding Fathers, as represented by Thomas Jefferson in his statement, "A Nation's best defense is an educated citizenry."

Although most current theorists in the field tend to have a background in artificial intelligence, the 'C.I.' field is actually more reasonably classified as a branch of political science - since it shares the same objective of effective group activity - and rhetoric in common with the philosophy of action, e.g.
One measure sometimes applied, especially by more artificial intelligence focused theorists like Douglas Engelbart, is "collective intelligence quotient", which presumably can be measured like the "individual" intelligence quotient (IQ) - thus making it possible to determine the marginal extra intelligence added by each new individual participating in the collective.
Critics of artificial intelligence on ethical grounds are likely to promote collective wisdom-building methods, e.g.

A collective intelligence system is a dynamic, living "ecosystem" for individual and collective learning, in which emergent patterns of meaning, coordination flows, insights, and inspiration interact, cross-fertilize, feed upon, and grow on each other.
For example, an electronically indexed collection of video-taped interviews explaining the conditions that allowed successful teams to shorten the time needed for moving from breakdowns to breakthroughs will enable troubled teams to accelerate their learning by reviewing those lessons and using what is applicable.

 Amazon.com: Collective Intelligence: Books: Pierre Levy,Robert Bononno   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Levy's collective, on the other hand, derives from Serres', where all large-scale, collective phenomena are distributive rather than summative - you don't make big, 'global' things by stacking lots of smaller, 'local' things, Lego-block style, because the local and the global don't have any necessary relationship.
Levy adds his notion of collectives to this schema to show how, with the help of new information technologies in particular, each skill, piece of knowledge and understanding is now distributed, rather than isolated in some one place.
Next he discusses the economy of collective intelligence and how with the growth of technology it is forcing people to abandon their homes, cultures, languages, and even destroying the conventional ideas of a community.
