The Collective Intelligence Research Group at the IT University of Copenhagen

The ITU Collective Intelligence Research Group is one of the pioneering research centers in Europe on Collective Intelligence. The unit was founded at the Copenhagen Business School by Carina Antonia Hallin in 2016 as part of the Department of International Economics, Government and Business and has recently been transferred to the IT University of Copenhagen under the name of Collective Intelligence Research Group.

The Collective Intelligence Research Group investigates how human minds and computers work together as a foundation for new decision-support systems for organizations, governments, communities, and society. The group thereby focuses on collective intelligence behavior and practices, both at a national and international scale. The core research areas of the group revolve around how collective intelligence, big data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning can be combined to improve decision-making. The aggregation of insights from diverse and well-informed groups of people combined with CI technologies and AI has been shown to bring the collective tacit knowledge and leading intuitions of crowds to light, thereby providing decision-makers with new decision tools.

The IT University of Copenhagen offers the group a unique technical science environment to progress to the next level. The objective is to further the research area of collective intelligence combined with artificial intelligence through validated studies of its capabilities and applications as decision support systems for organizations, governments, communities, society, and humanity. Our theories and studies are mainly experimentally conducted in labs and validated across field studies.
