Summary

MIT's Center for Collective Intelligence (CCI) researches how groups of humans and AI systems can work together more intelligently than either alone. Current projects focus on generative AI augmenting human creativity, designing human-AI teams, and 'Supermind Design' for innovative combinations of people and computers. The center bridges foundational science on collective intelligence with practical organizational applications.

Key Points

•Active research on Generative AI and Collective Intelligence, exploring how AI can augment human creativity and group problem-solving
•Supermind Design project investigates novel architectures combining humans and computers for enhanced collective performance
•Human-AI Teams project addresses task allocation and design challenges in mixed human-machine teams
•Legacy projects include measuring collective intelligence, collective prediction, and deliberation tools, providing foundational frameworks
•Research explicitly aims to translate scientific understanding of collective intelligence into real-world organizational action
