| Global Brain Academia - People Why1 #405037 http://www.academia.edu/People/Global_brain | The vision of the Global Brain (Heylighen 2007, 2014), a genuine, unstoppable intelligence arising from the accelerating interconnectivity of individuals and their technological extensions, feels like the exact opposite of the world as it... moreMany philosophers share the strong intuition that mental or cognitive properties should be attributed at exactly one level of organization: the individual organism. In particular, individual human beings are considered to be the... moreArtificial, neurobiological, and social networks are three distinct complex adaptive systems (CASs), each containing discrete processing units (nodes, neurons, and humans, respectively). Despite the apparent differences, these three... moreIl presente lavoro di ricerca intende esaminare da un punto di vista socio-epistemologico il rapporto problematico tra intelligenza collettiva e processi di costruzione sociale della conoscenza in rete. La scelta di ricorrere alla... moreThe very top position of the evolutionary ladder is – in most approaches – still being awarded to the individual human being. Social systems, which assemble humans in a way similar to that of multicellular organisms, seem somewhat... more Groups of people working together in a collaborative fashion can accomplish things that would completely baffle individual human beings. The nature, speed, scope, and interdependence of group collaboration have been dramatically expanded... more We show how the externalization of our local brain functions is leading to planetary level intelligence, or global brain. We argue that this mechanism of externalizing cognitive functions is a fundamental driver towards an ever smarter... moreIt is argued that the prospect of the emergence of a Global Brain as a planetary level Communication Command and Control system capable of demonstrating general intelligence depends on realizing a scalable cognitive process. We have... more |
