Panel scope
The discussion will be based on the following theses:
  • Collective Computational Intelligence (CCI) systems and tools can be categorized into generations according to the level of involvement and sophistication of their intelligent computational components .
  • Apart from systems of the earliest generation, CCI systems are based on, and require to become effective, solutions and techniques provided by the Artificial Intelligence (AI).
  • Recent advances in the field of AI including, among others, generative models based on the transformer architecture, are game changers as far as field of Computational Collective Intelligence is concerned.

    • Since both fields: the Artificial Intelligence and the Collective Computational Intelligence are closely related, there exists a good chance for obtaining synergetic effects from developing AI solution using some CCI techniques, and for obtaining such effects from developing CCI solutions using some AI techniques. The discussion will focus on challenges facing both of the above approaches. The panellist will also discuss opportunities and threats for society and economy emerging solutions could bring.
