Abstract How can we be smarter together? This playful interactive conference presents the scientific principles that power collective intelligence. It demonstrates the essential role of diversity and presents innovative methods to make organizations and individuals smarter. Among the topics covered are the IQ of groups, the wisdom of crowds, the diversity theorem, active open mindedness, and prediction markets. Illustrated with many concrete examples, from termite mounds to large companies, from Trump to Descartes, from epidemics to geopolitics, the talk also quizzes the audience with live digital polls that reveal its collective intelligence.
