From Human Computation to the Global Brain

Boekbijdrage - Hoofdstuk

The present chapter wishes to investigate the wider context of human computation, viewing it as merely one approach within the broad domain of distributed human-computer symbiosis. The multifarious developments in the "social" Internet have shown the great potential of large-scale col-laborative systems that involve both people and information technologies. Here, I wish to explore this development in the broadest sense, as the self-organization of a distributed intelligence system at the planetary level--a phenomenon that has been called the "global brain".
To get there, I will first define and illustrate the fundamental concept of distributed intelligence. Then I will review how such an intelligent net-work emerges and grows through a combination of self-organization and design. Finally, I will sketch some potential applications of the anticipated global brain.
