II. Pedia Sapiens: A Planetary Progeny Comes to Her/His Own Actual Factual Knowledge1. Collective Global Brain Intelligence
In November 2022, we introduce this new section which could not have been added sooner. Two prime, content-based occasions are the online presence of a dedicated Collective Intelligence journal, see J. Flack herein, and a 25th Anniversary: Looking Forward special issue of Trends in Cognitive Science (26/12, December 2022) with many general CI entries, see M. Botvinick below. Allen, Benjamin, et al. Natural Selection for Collective Action. arXiv:2302.14700. For the record, eight Emmanuel College biomathematicians suggest ways that life’s evolution is innately supportive of a steady scale of beneficial cooperatives. Collective action as the combined behaviors of multiple individuals occurs across living beings. Knowledge of how and why it evolves has a prime value for behavioral ecology, multicellularity, and human society but is hard to model due to nonlinear fitness effects along with spatial, group, and/or family units. Here, we derive a simple condition for collective action as favored by natural selection with a group influence on each individual weighted by the relatedness between them. (Excerpt) Baltzerson, Rolf. Cultural-Historical Perspectives on Collective Intelligence. Oxford University Press, 2022. An Oslo Metropolitan University College historian writes a first thorough, book-length treatment as a quantified recognition grows about how vital and persistent this cognitive facility is across all manner of animal, and human groupings. Chapters run from Crowdsourcing and Open Online Knowledge Sharing to Collaborative Problem Solving and COVID as a Wicked Problem. It closes with The Intelligent Society to consider and recommend that an intentional enhance of the realization that public assemblies of any size and case do actually possess such a potential ability. The full PDF text is available as Open Access on Cambridge Core web page. Throughout our evolution, our most extraordinary ability as humans is to collaborate with each other. Our history is much about how we gradually learned to solve problems together in larger groups. We first lived in caves in small numbers, then peoples went on to form villages, which with time, grew into kingdoms and nations. Today millions of us find fresh ways of solving problems in large distributed groups in a global online setting. In regard, platforms and projects allow open online knowledge sharing, e.g. Wikipedia) and so on. There is also a growing awareness that complex problems like climate change or COVID-19, require innovative worldwise approaches that build on the combined scientific and political efforts of individuals and teams all over the globe.

Realizing the Promise of AI: A New Challenge for Cognitive Science.
Trends in Cognitive Sciences.
26/12,
2022.
A Deep Mind, London computational neuroscientist writes a lead paper for a 25th Anniversary Series: Looking Forward special issue whose 25 authoritative, diverse entries review past years as a way to preview and enhance a new quarter century of interdisciplinary insightful advance. A main endeavor should be a humane, beneficial syntheses of this planetary collective intelligence CI phase with deep neural AI learnings. Rapid progress in artificial intelligence (AI) places a new spotlight on a long-standing question: how can we best develop AI to maximize its benefits to humanity? Answering this question in a satisfying and timely way represents an exciting challenge not only for AI research but also for all member disciplines of cognitive science. Centola, Damon. The Network Science of Collective Intelligence.. Trends in Cognitive Sciences. 26/11`2022, . With an emphasis on problem solving and crowd wisdom, a University of Pennsylvania social scientist surveys earlier versions in several fields such as climate studies, management, elections, and so on. But as they try to become efficient, it is proposed that as active connectivities form cooperative interrelations they result in network topologies. The paper goes on to illustrate how such a structured appreciation can serve better group cohesion and performance. That is to say, an awareness of these innate dynamic features is a vital step. Our intent in this new section is to help identify and enhance this novel facility and knowledge resource just among us all. In the last few years, breakthroughs in computational and experimental techniques have produced several key discoveries in the science of networks and human collective intelligence. This review presents the latest scientific findings from two key fields of research: collective problem-solving and the wisdom of the crowd. I demonstrate the core theoretical tensions separating these research traditions and show how recent findings offer a new synthesis for understanding how network dynamics alter collective intelligence, both positively and negatively. I conclude by highlighting current theoretical problems at the forefront of research on networked collective intelligence, as well as vital public policy challenges that require new research efforts.

Future Studies.
Little, Brown,
2022.
The Macquarie University, Australia big historian notably founded this widest integral field in the early 2000s. After many popular writings and collegial projects (search) this new work turns about to look ahead, imagine and survey further trajectories of life’s entire evolutionary course, as we Earthlings may be able to track and trace. True to style, sections run from how microbes seem to sense and plan, onto to life’s emergent, communal, cognizant organisms, and to our sentient, curious selves as we may begin to scan and consider near and far astronomic complexities. The future is uncertain, possibly dangerous, maybe wonderful. We cope with this uncertainty by telling stories about the future. This book is thus about looking ahead as a sort of a User’s Guide. We all need such a guide because the future is where we will spend the rest of our lives. David Christian, historian and author of Origin Story, is renowned for pioneering the emerging discipline of Big History, which surveys the whole of the past. But with this volume, he casts his expansive vision forward to introduce whatever near and farther realms might be imagined from the individual to the cosmological. (Excerpt) Duarte, Denise, et al. Representing Collective Thinking through Cognitive Networks. Journal of Complex Networks. 10/6, 2022. We cite this December article by University of Sao Paulo scholars (see bio’s below for global postings) as an example of this actual “thinking like a planet” emergent expansion of Wuman-Earth cognizance. Another indication is a proper advent of this novel 2022/2023 section, and CI journal, This article presents a novel quantitative approach using network features to represent community collective thinking. We propose a new function, called the cognitive affinity coefficient that maps individual cognitive links within a graph structure. This function transforms the data generated by the words chosen for an individual regarding a specific subject into an appropriate relational object for analysing cognitive networks. We apply our methodology to novel data on evocations about river floods, which allowed us to find communities inside the network according to their thinking about this subject and identify the most active individuals inside each one and, therefore, explicit their collective thinking.

Editorial to the Inaugural Issue.
Collective Intelligence.
August,
2022.
JF, SFI, Panos Ipeirotis, NYU, Thomas Malone, MIT Geoff Mulgan, UCL and Scott Page, U. Michigan introduce this mid 2022 periodical co-published by SAGE and ACM Digital. It’s origins stem from Santa Fe Institute seminars with J. Flack, David Krakauer, others to a point that a dedicated journal became merited to convey and study the significant presence of this personal to planetary communicative, knowledge gain process. Collective behavior is a universal property of biological, social, and many engineered systems. However, the study of collective intelligence—roughly, the production of adaptive, wise, or clever structures and behaviors by groups—remains nascent. Despite that, it is growing in various disciplines, from biology and psychology to computer science and economics, management, and political science to mathematics, complexity science, and neuroscience. With the launch of Collective Intelligence, we aim to create a publication that transcends disciplines, methodologies, and traditional formats. We hope to help discover principles that can be useful to both basic and applied science and encourage the emergence of a unified discipline of study. (Abstract) Galesic, Mirta, et al. Beyond Collective Intelligence: Collective Adaptation.. Journal of the Royal Society: Interface. March, 2023. Twenty senior biobehaviorists from the USA, Austria, Denmark, Germany, the UK including Dora Biro, Robert Goldstone and Alex Mesoudi identify and explain how all manner of animal groupings across life’s long evolution occur due a deep propensity to not only become smarter, but to enhance this fitness by such communal unities. These latest, salient findings are then braced by vivid graphics and 300 references. Ha, David and Yujin Tang. Collective Intelligence for Deep Learning. Collective Intelligence. September, 2022. Google Brain, Tokyo software engineers provide a timely, wide-ranging survey from nature’s persistent tendency for animal groupings to become smarter through communicative interactions. In respect, the paper is a good example of 2022 worldwise abilities, as not much earlier, to quantify and recognize how significantly prevalent this vital learning process actually is. Bu our frontier phase, as if a spiral ascent to an Earthumanity involves deep neural nets, AI methods, agent behaviors, pattern notice, altogether a planetary learning endeavor. In this review, we will provide a historical context of neural network research’s involvement with complex systems, and highlight several active areas in modern deep learning research that incorporate the principles of collective intelligence to advance its capabilities. We hope this review can serve as a bridge between the complex systems and deep learning communities. McClleland, James. Capturing Advanced Human Cognitive Abilities with Deep Neural Networks. Trends in Cognitive Sciences. 26/12, 2022. . At 73 years. the pioneer cofounder with David Rumelhart of 1980s connectionism continues his project by integrations with computational AI methods. A big difference will be a more “goal directed” orientation going forward. We add that by this vista, science can be seen to spiral from individuals to a 2020s global sapiensphere going on its cognizant self. As AI and CI may join forces, might a proper Earthificial Intelligence be appropriate, as a prior section seeks to do? How can artificial neural networks capture the advanced cognitive abilities of pioneering scientists? I suggest they must learn to exploit human-invented tools of thought and human-like ways of using them, and must engage in explicit goal-directed problem solving as exemplified in the activities of scientists and mathematicians and taught in advanced educational settings. Mulgan, Geoff. Big Mind. How Collective Intelligence Can Change Our World. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2018. A University College London professor of social innovation provides an early survey of the advent and avail of this so far unappreciated cognitive process. A new field of collective intelligence has emerged in recent years, prompted by digital technologies that make it possible to think at large scale. This "bigger mind"―human and machine capabilities working together―could potentially solve the great challenges of our time. Gathering insights from the latest work on data, web platforms, and artificial intelligence, Big Mind reveals how the power of collective intelligence could help organizations and societies to survive and thrive. Rajaram, Supama. Collective Memory and the Individual Mind.. Trends in Cognitive Sciences. 26/12, 2022. A SUNY Stony Brook psychologist provides a good contrast between the once and future quarter century spans as broadly aligned with distinctly personal and global phases of our ascendant cerebral Earthumanity. How does social transmission of information shape individual and collective memory? Taking a cognitive-experimental perspective, I propose three critical research themes to tackle in the next 25 years: the dynamic reciprocity of influence between the individual and the collective; changes in the individual and collective memory structures; and the impact of culture.
