Why bees could be the secret to superhuman intelligence

Louis Rosenberg thinks he has found a way to make us all a lot smarter. Rosenberg runs a Silicon Valley startup called Unanimous AI, which has built a tool to support human decision-making by crowdsourcing opinions online. It lets hundreds of participants respond to a question all at once, pooling their collective insight, biases and varying expertise into a single answer. Since launching in June, Unanimous AI has registered around 50,000 users and answered 230,000 questions. Rosenberg thinks this hybrid human-computer decision-making machine – once dubbed an'artificial' artificial intelligence – could help us tackle some of the world's toughest questions.
