Swarm Intelligence
The meaning of swarm is well known and is used to describe a group in movement. Picture a swarm of bees flying together. Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge. (Wikipedia) Swarm intelligence is a collective behavior of decentralized, self -organized systems, natural or artificial. (Wikipedia) When I think of swarm intelligence “the no I in team” saying comes to mind. Basically, you can get more done working together than you can get done on your own. Nature shows us a great example, the honey bee. In Debbie Hadley’s article”10 Fascinating Facts about Honey Bees” A colony of bees can be made up to 60,000 bees. It takes a lot of bees to get all the work done. Nurse bees care for the young, while the queen's attendant workers bathe and feed her. Guard bees stand watch at the door. Construction workers build the beeswax foundation in which the queen lays eggs and the workers store honey. Undertakers carry the dead from the hive. Foragers must bring back enough pollen and nectar to feed the entire community. These bees have …show more content…
By combining artificial intelligence with human intelligence, connecting groups of humans by way of technology. Louis B. Rosenberg has done exactly that by creating the UNU. His novel platform called UNU, enables distributed populations of networked users to congregate online in real-time swarms and tackle problems as an Artificial Swarm Intelligence (ASI). Modeled after biological swarms, the UNU platform enables online groups to work together in synchrony, forging a unified dynamic system that can quickly answer questions and make decisions by exploring a decision-space and converging on a preferred solution. Initial testing suggests that human swarming has great potential for unleashing the collective intelligence of online groups, often exceeding individual abilities.
