地球上還有比人類更聰明的動物?
沒錯!那就是超心智(Superminds)!
超心智集結人類、電腦,創造出更聰明的集體智慧,
將在不久的未來,影響你我生活所有層面!
如果你和大多數人一樣,你大概會相信這星球上最聰明的動物就是人類。但其實還有另一個群體可能比你我更聰明:集體智慧。
在這本前瞻性十足的書中,麻省理工學院集體智慧中心(MIT Center for Collective Intelligence)創始及負責人馬龍(Thomas Malone)展示了在商業、政府、科學等所有人類擁有驚人成就的領域中,超心智(Superminds)中的集體智慧如何運作。
透過為數眾多的例子與研究,馬龍說明如何以更多元化的嶄新方式,藉由電腦,將人類互相連結起來,創造出更聰明的超心智。雖然這個過程可能比許多人期望的緩慢許多,但人工智慧電腦將會透過複雜的思考,放大超心智的力量。
這些變化將影響人類生活各個層面,購物、商業策略甚至是如何面對氣候變遷,超心智將無役不與。透過了解這些集體智慧的運作方式,我們可以學習如何利用這些智慧,實現人類目標。《Superminds》將闡述一個大膽且迷人的未來藍圖,而這將改變未來你與其他人或是電腦,一起工作生活的方式。【文 / 博客來編譯】
From the founding director of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence comes a fascinating look at the remarkable capacity for intelligence exhibited by groups of people and computers working together.
If you're like most people, you probably believe that humans are the most intelligent animals on our planet. But there's another kind of entity that can be far smarter: groups of people. In this groundbreaking book, Thomas Malone, the founding director of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence, shows how groups of people working together in superminds -- like hierarchies, markets, democracies, and communities -- have been responsible for almost all human achievements in business, government, science, and beyond. And these collectively intelligent human groups are about to get much smarter.
Using dozens of striking examples and case studies, Malone shows how computers can help create more intelligent superminds simply by connecting humans to one another in a variety of rich, new ways. And although it will probably happen more gradually than many people expect, artificially intelligent computers will amplify the power of these superminds by doing increasingly complex kinds of thinking. Together, these changes will have far-reaching implications for everything from the way we buy groceries and plan business strategies to how we respond to climate change, and even for democracy itself. By understanding how these collectively intelligent groups work, we can learn how to harness their genius to achieve our human goals.
Drawing on cutting-edge science and insights from a remarkable range of disciplines, Superminds articulates a bold -- and utterly fascinating -- picture of the future that will change the ways you work and live, both with other people and with computers.
