New York University, Stern School of Business is hosting the 4th annual conference that brings together research and cutting edge practices from the academy, businesses, non-profits, governments, and the world at large cross-pollinating ideas from fields as diverse as computer science, psychology, political science, sociology, business strategy, and biology. What unites us is our joint interest in understanding behavior that is both collective and intelligent.  By collective, we mean groups of individual actors, including, for example, people, computational agents, and organizations.  By intelligent, we mean that the collective behavior of the group exhibits characteristics such as, for example, perception, learning, judgment, or problem solving.

 

The conference will feature over 100 presentations and posters as well as several dynamic plenary sessions engaging participants in intense conversations that are rare within the confines of single academic field.

 

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

•   human computation

•   social computing

•   crowdsourcing

•   crowdfunding

•   wisdom of crowds (e.g., prediction markets)

•   group memory and extended cognition

•   collective decision making and problem-solving

•   participatory and deliberative democracy

•   animal collective behavior

•   organizational design and strategy

•   public policy design (e.g., regulatory reform)

•   ethics of collective intelligence (e.g., "digital sweatshops")

•   computational models of group search and optimization

•   emergence and evolution of intelligence

•   new technologies for making groups smarter
