It is urgent that we rethink our understanding of intelligence in a profound way. Among scholars, collective intelligence (CI) is increasingly used as a broad, multidisciplinary term to describe new types of collective problem solving. This notion of intelligence is not about individual ability or computer algorithms; rather, it describes how collectives of people, both small and very large groups, solve problems.
