"Founding director, MIT Center for Collective Intelligence"
Thomas W. Malone is the founding director of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence and the Patrick J. McGovern Professor of Management at the MIT Sloan School of Management. For more than three decades he has studied how groups of people — and now people plus computers — can think more effectively together, well before "collective intelligence" became a buzzword. Malone co-edited the influential Handbook of Collective Intelligence and helped launch MIT's Climate CoLab, a real-world experiment in crowdsourcing climate policy with thousands of volunteers. He writes as an organizational-design researcher first: his focus is less on what AI models can do and more on how humans, computers, and institutions should be structured to think well together.
