Supercollective Intelligence: How collective intelligence and prediction markets make our companies, governments, and everyone smarter

Groups have their own intelligence. We have recently learned how to measure their IQ. But why are groups with more women smarter? How can we harness the wisdom of the crowd while avoiding groupthink? Why does diversity make us smarter? How can prediction markets make our companies more successful? How can we use them to revitalize our democracies? And why are American spy agencies so interested in our collective intelligence? To all these questions Emile Servan-Schreiber offers surprising answers drawing on the latest scientific discoveries and his extensive field practice as a prediction markets pioneer since 2000. Using concrete examples, from termites to Boeing, from Trump to Macron, from artificial intelligence to intelligence agencies, he reveals the immense potential of our collective intelligence organized at scale.
