Crowdsourcing and multi-disciplinary risk assessment?
Crowdsourcing and multi-disciplinary risk assessment?☜Many risk researchers see a need to improve the theory and practice of risk management, and policy organisations want alternatives to traditional practices like consulting expert opinion and resolving issues through public policy and debate. Can a suitable methodology be found to crowdsource, i.e. harness the power of a large and diverse group of people using the power of the internet, risk assessments? What are the potential upsides; where do the pitfalls appear and can these be avoided?☜F1CEB7

A platform is given to cranks and vested interests to push their views
A platform is given to cranks and vested interests to push their views☜One only needs to read the comments section on newspaper websites to see this in action. Could methods be developed, such as ensuring commentators use their real names, to filter these views? Or, to play ‘devil’s advocate’, might free debate be harmed by placing harsh restrictions on contributors?☜EF597B

Left-field views might be valid and correct
Left-field views might be valid and correct☜Although debate will be opened to cranks, the whole point of crowdsourcing is to hear views that are not in the mainstream way of think (the current paradigm). Hearing these non-mainstream views is an essential part of why crowdsourcing might be useful.☜9FDEF6

There is nothing wrong with having a vested interest
There is nothing wrong with having a vested interest☜In a transparent debate vested interests should be clear. Having a vested interest may been you seek to skew a risk assessment, but presumably you then have a desire to see the process work.☜98CE71

Preventative measures can be put in place
Preventative measures can be put in place☜It may be worth looking into the specific safeguards implemented by Wikipedia, for example. These include first the provision of rules pertaining to content (e.g. traceability of claims to reliable external sources) which can be enforced by a community of volunteer “admins” with special editorial powers. Recent changes are flagged out as such to facilitate verification of compliance and usernames and IP addresses are logged. Users can face temporary or permanent banning.☜EF597B
