robot insects using collaborative intelligence - 17 September, 2007
poss says
I have spoken at length with Jawad about the purpose of shuzak, and he frequently mentioned collaborative intelligence, After seeing this article, i knew it belonged here.
Its al labout intelligent insect swarms, that communicate with their neighbours directly to achieve the overall goal. Do you think This kind of collaborative social intelligence will catch on in humans?

Just as soon as humans find some overall goal.

Does shuzak have a goal?

I've always thought of Shuzak as a tool, not necessarily in terms of a collective entity, though I can see why one might look at it that way.

I think Shuzak has a direction, but no specific goal. Jawad may well disagree.

I think the 'goal' is free and open sharing of ideas and information.

In this context, Shuzak looks a lot like a think tank.

I'd like to try and maintain this quality with the new site, but I'd also like to give it more drive by increasing the flow of new ideas, both from technology and science news, and by encouraging new users to join.
