Task 9 - Collective intelligence Flashcards
Agent-based models (ABMs)
- Computational models used to simulate interactions between individual agents within a system.
- Each agent operates based on a set of rules, and their collective behavior can lead to emergent phenomena at the system level.
Backchanneling
Nonverbal behavior that shows the speaker that one is actively engaged in the interaction
Collective intelligence
Group intelligence that emerges from collaboration and learning from others (e.g. not all making the same mistake)
Distributed cognition
- Theory in cognitive science that suggests that thinking and knowledge are not confined to an individual’s mind but are spread across people, objects, tools, and the environment.
- Challenges the idea that cognition happens only “inside the head”
Shared mental-models
Provide team members with a common understanding of the task and who is responsible for what
Social learning
Process of acquiring knowledge, behaviors, or attitudes by observing and interacting with others
Theory of mind
The ability to attribute mental states to oneself and to others and to understand that others have beliefs different from ones own
The challenges to CRUM
- Challenges CRUM because it doesn’t represent the fact that we are beings in the world
- There are social aspects
- People can do things without representations (through physical skill)
Social Epistomology
- Study of how knowledge is produced, shared, and justified within social groups, institutions, and communities.
- It challenges the idea that knowledge is purely individual
Multiagent systems
System where multiple autonomous agents interact with each other to achieve individual or collective goals.
Swarm intelligence
Swarm intelligence is the collective behavior of simple agents working together to solve problems without a central controller.
Artificial swarm intelligence (ASI)
- Application of swarm intelligence principles to artificial systems, like robots or algorithms.
- Involves multiple autonomous agents (e.g., robots or software) working together to solve problems by following simple rules and interacting locally, without central control.
Methodological individualism
Since groups are just collections of individuals, there is no need for explanations of group behavior to concern anything but individuals
The Effects of a Robot’s vulnerable behavior on trust
- Study about how robots showing vulnerability by either self-disclosure, personal stories or humor
- This increased trust-related human behavior and can even have ripple effects of human team members being vulnerable
Swarm
Any loosely structured collection of interacting agents
Stimergy
Communication by altering the state of the environment in a way that will effect the behavior of others for whom the environment is a stimulus (commonly used by insects)
Wisdom of the Crowd vs. Swarm Intelligence
Comparing the effectiveness of simple aggregation of individual judgments (crowd) against real-time, dynamic interaction and feedback (swarm) in solving problems. Swarm intelligence often demonstrates superior performance.
Crowdsourcing
Obtaining services, ideas, or content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people, typically online. Often used for knowledge aggregation.
