Review
"A book rich in speculation about how collective thinking might solve big problems such as climate change; of interests to fans of Daniel Dennett, Steven Pinker, and other big-picture thinkers."―Kirkus Reviews"Deeply explores the power of information technology to enable truly new forms of human organization. Highly recommended."―Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia founder"From the father of collective intelligence, a refreshingly realistic view of how computers will supercharge collective intelligence and how these superminds can help us tackle the most complex problems that face the world today."―Joi Ito, Director, MIT Media Lab, and author of Whiplash"In this fascinating book, Tom Malone introduces us to new vistas of human capability and creativity achievable through collective intelligence. By thinking imaginatively about our future, Malone helps us think differently about the present."―Anne Marie-Slaughter, CEO of New America and author of Unfinished Business"Tom Malone puts worries about artificial intelligence in perspective, explaining why AI works best when combined with humans in superminds. What makes a supermind more or less intelligent is just one of many surprises in this fascinating book."―Patrick Winston, former director of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and author of Artificial Intelligence"The wonderful essence of Tom Malone's book is to imagine how people and computers will interact on a massive scale to create intelligent systems. And by imagining them in advance, we have some hope of nudging them in a positive direction."―Esther Dyson, executive founder of Way to Wellville and author of Release 2.1"In this terrific, well-researched, and highly readable book, Tom Malone explores provocatively and practically the opportunities and challenges that superminds will help us address in business and society. Leaders who care about harnessing the power of human minds in a world enabled by digital technologies must read this book."―James Manyika, Chairman, McKinsey Global Institute"Humans plus computers and networks have enormous potential. How can such wee creatures as ourselves take advantage of this potential? Malone addresses this question in a concrete way, laying the foundation for a new discipline: the systems engineering of superminds."―Vernor Vinge, Hugo Award-winning science fiction author, and originator of the "technological singularity" concept."Malone takes us on an intentional journey into thinking about thought, intelligence, reasoning, and consciousness. He sees these notions in extremely broad terms that have changed my views of what it means to 'think.'"―Vint Cerf, VP, Google, and one of the "fathers of the Internet""A remarkable journey into the basic structures -- markets, hierarchies, democracies and more -- that have advanced civilization throughout history and now bring us to a turning point where the complex problems facing humanity can be addressed by people and computers working together in totally new ways. A must read."―Amy Edmondson, professor, Harvard Business School, and author of Building the Future

This book has had such an impact in our work, my colleagues and I are completely restructuring our project around the perspective of superminds and collective intelligence offered by Prof. Malone. In fact, the book has become a must-read for anyone joining our organization, as it is the most comprehensive tool available for onboarding people to a collective project.Prof. Malone offers a holistic approach to analyzing mechanisms in which groups of people working alongside with machines can be more effective. He introduces the works and findings by the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence in a highly digestible format at the reach of non-academics, while offering references to specific papers and studies at the same time. He explores empirical evidence and existing projects solving real problems by harnessing the potential of groups of people working towards a common goal.The book offers a perspective on the world... a frame of reference by which it is possible to understand why the world is what it is by analyzing the ways in which people, corporations, governments and all sorts of entities interact. But, most importantly, it offers a perspective on how humans can come together and collaborate, empowered by new technologies, to reshape the very structures of the world as we know it.
MIT Prof Tom Malone has been examining the nuances, intricacies, structures and patterns of coordination in organizations for several decades. He is well known for his body of work on coordination science, and for related work on collaboration, which overlaps in many ways with coordination. Building on a professional lifetime of serious academic work, consulting, teaching and entreprenuring in this space, Tom has used this new book titled Superminds to pull together his many years of thinking on these topics, as well as to expand his thinking on how interconnected collections of people and collections of computers can come together to achieve levels of intelligence that can exceed the levels of intelligence that can realized when only computers or only humans are involved.The book is well written, and easily digestible for a broad public and practitioner audience. For those who are simultaneously interested in understanding 1) the potential for Computing and IT to increase the intelligence and capability of an organization (or any purposeful group of people), and 2) how the organization of work itself must be rethought and realigned to realize this potential, you will find this a highly informative book.The book does not go into technical details of how advanced IT or AI works. Tom very thoughtfully summarizes the essential aspects of this that are required for the points he makes. As such, the book is especially useful for those in organizations and other groups (private or public sector, or social sector) who want to read something that will seriously and thoughtfully help them understand and position for new possibilities in how group work and large-scale organizational work may evolve in the years to come.
I am posting this review for my husband, who read the book. Even though he has an Amazon account, we purchase through the Prime account that I own. Amazon, therefore, won't let him post his review under his account because "he" hasn't bought anything. A rant for another day. Here's the review ...In his newest book, Professor Malone defines a supermind to be a group of individuals working together in ways that seem to be intelligent. Building from this definition he writes a broadly accessible story opening our eyes to several important trends. Malone points out that superminds have been with us for a long time. What is new is their scale, inclusiveness and access to the vast stores of data and knowledge made possible by computer mediation and vastly faster communications speeds. He gives interesting examples of how superminds are on the verge of making smarter hierarchies, democracies, marketplaces, communities, and even ecosystems along with insights from his and others’ research including the discovery that the more women involved in a supermind the better they perform (perhaps up to 100%).Culture, economies, religions and technology all spring from supermind-like collaborations, some of which are as tightly knit as the family, others as vast as nation states. However, sometimes it seems we are like fish in the sea, and can hardly notice the water in which we swim. Looking through the lens Malone provides we see with new eyes that schools, churches, armies, political parties, and governments, essentially everything in our world is made of groups of people, working together to solve problems and advance their interests. More and more, all of these groups are using communication and computing technologies to help them achieve their goals. Superminds are everywhere!How did we fail to notice these groups as something particularly special? Sometimes it comes down to just having a name. Naming is the first important thing Malone brings to our awareness; that, and that superminds are everywhere and that we are, and always have been immersed in them. They are power.Beyond theory and broad examples, Malone discusses practical ways that superminds can and are being used to make smarter decisions, ranging from strategic business plans to global actions for climate change. He describes these emerging methods as a kind of cyber-human strategy machine, which enables huge groups to participate in creating new ideas and allows their voices in the evaluations and implementations thereby broadening the whole definition of a world community.A particularly interesting example from the book is the use of “Contest Webs†in the Climate Colaboratory’s non-hierarchical proposal process. By modeling the way supply chains work with multiple higher-level integrators in market economies this proposal process allows subprojects from multiple proposers to be included in competing higher level projects, which essentially creates a knowledge supply chain financially supported by several winning, higher level projects. This has benefits in knowledge sharing and cost controls and might be widely useful in proposal processes more generally.He closes with an exploration of what such a supermind might want, and suggests that it should want to be wise, not just smart and powerful, saying that “exploring space, advancing science and art, developing intelligent machines and exploring new forms of collective human consciousness could all be worthy goals for a wise global mind.â€He presents a convincing case that superminds are a bridge to an unimaginable future, even as he suggests that our jobs are not immediately at risk. He may be overly optimistic. The world is likely to be alive with computational minds sooner than we suppose, even if it seems farfetched today. Quibbles about the time aside, we surely stand on the cusp of such machines.Malone wrote this book to capture this moment between mostly human superminds and a new world with intelligent and potentially wise, potentially non-human superminds – a world that we little understand and can hardly envision, which is why his book is interesting and important.Perhaps his future research will examine how criminal organizations, too, are superminds and so are evil governments and war-criminal militaries. History suggests that, like individual human minds, these broader superminds can also be mentally deranged. The subject deserves a much deeper look; there is much to be studied and much yet to be published. Certainly, the benefits and risks of including at least a few humans in superminds must be closely examined; in moments of conflict, hybrid superminds may be too timid, or to slow to prevail.Indeed, the program OpenAI Five recently [Science (361) 6403 pp 632-633, 17 August, 2018] beat a team of professional players (i.e., a hybrid-supermind) in the game Data2, a popular, online combat/strategy game, with millions of players around the world. That OpenAI Five already plays at, or beyond superhuman levels against such a ‘supermind’ should makes us considerably more interested the questions Malone raises.Let us hope that we jointly manage to create “insanely great†superminds, not plain, old-fashioned insane ones, and that we are prepared to control the risks as humans cede more and more control to the computational parts of these superminds.--George Davidson
this is a shocker to come from the faculty at MIT. It does have some interesting references, but the tone and content are overstatement, speculation and hype.
We are running an open source project called Advanced Algos, about a crowd of developers and traders developing trading bots and putting them to compete between each other. After competing, the source code is opened and the crowd can fork the winners, creating an environment of rapid bot evolution. Once we though we had it all, we came across Superminds, which helped us understand that if we as a project (supermind) organize ourselves with the right tools and seek maximizing our collective intelligence, we are at the same time minimizing the time needed for a "Superalgo" (able to outperform everyone at the markets) to emerge. Congratulations Professor Malone!
