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 involvement of many debaters may lead to better quality results☜By analogy with open source software the involvement of many debaters may lead to better quality and better maintained results. A contributor to a debate may refine his or her arguments in response to open discussion; one participant may extend or clarify as well as find flaws in the arguments of another.☜98CE71

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
