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

The public isn’t competent to understand many risk assessment issues
The public isn’t competent to understand many risk assessment issues☜In certain instances arguments hinge on technical and scientific questions. The general public does not have the expertise to understand these matters, let alone provide coherent arguments about them. In a crowdsourcing environment, how can these key technical issues be identified? And once identified, can they be communicated effectively by experts to the general public? Can crowdsourcing meld effectively with this more traditional approach to risk assessment?☜98CE71

Statistical methods, and their limitations, are well established
Statistical methods, and their limitations, are well established☜Statistical and other formal techniques for risk assessment are well established and their limitations are well understood. How would a crowd sourcing approach produce better results?☜98CE71

The results could be manipulated or gamed for dubious purposes
The results could be manipulated or gamed for dubious purposes☜Does this mean crowdsourcing is inherently unsuited to framing a balanced risk assessment? Might it not in fact be that an open debate exposes actors operating for dubious purposes? Expert panels may have just as much potential to be manipulated - their composition might have been decided on political grounds for example.☜98CE71

More resources can potentially be accessed☜Multiple computer simulations and other models from different teams may be complimentary and represent different viewpoints and sources of wider expertise.☜EF597B
