What is the meaning of collective intelligence?

Collective Intelligence names the increased problem-solving capacity that results from synergetic effects of interacting intelligent agents [4;5].

What is the concept of collective intelligence?

Humans can solve problems more efficiently together than alone as shown in social psychology research [3] demonstrating the phenomenon of collective intelligence.

What is the purpose of the paper?

The authors propose the use of perCues to increase the awareness for environmental pollution and to demonstrate the effect that individual actions have on the collective situation.

What is the main idea of the article?

The combination of public and private perCues gives the citizens immediate positive feedback about the behavior of other people and the positive impact their own actions.

What is the purpose of this paper?

The goal of this paper is to blaze a trail for the use of AmI environments to positively influence and persuade groups and individual users.

What do the authors propose to do with perCues?

perCues inherit properties from environmental cues in nature providing feedback about a certain aspect of the collective state guiding the individual behavior.

What does the research show about perCues?

integrated mobile devices give perCues to the individual users, e.g. when a citizen leaves the house in the morning.

perCues: trails of persuasion for ambient intelligence

Manfred Tscheligi, +3 more

- 18 May 2006

- pp 203-206

TL;DR: The approach is to design AmI environments by borrowing a concept which works very well in biological and social systems: Collective Intelligence (CI), which leads to improved problem solving capabilities of individuals and groups.

Abstract: The realization of the ambient intelligence (AmI) vision will have a profound impact on our everyday lives and society AmI applied in contexts like homes or public spaces will not only affect individual users but influence entire groups of users The question is how we can apply such technologies to persuade groups and individual users Our approach is to design AmI environments by borrowing a concept which works very well in biological and social systems: Collective Intelligence (CI) The intelligence of a group surpasses the individual intelligences and leads to improved problem solving capabilities of individuals and groups From nature we borrow examples of cues in the environment to stimulate goal directed collective intelligence (perCues) The application of perCues in AmI environments helps to persuade users to reach a common goal like decreasing environmental pollution Adopting CI for AmI we blaze a trail for the design of persuasive AmI environments
