We are thrilled to have Emile Servan-Schreiber give our plenary Major General John Taylor Fotheringham Memorial Lecture on Collective Intelligence: How Diversity Makes Everyone Smarter.
Emile Servan-Schreiber is a cognitive psychologist and a pioneering entrepreneur in digital collective intelligence. Since 2000, at the helm of the prediction-markets company Hypermind, he has divided his time between scientific research on large-scale collective intelligence and its practical applications for companies and governments. He has participated in several major U.S. government research projects into the wisdom of crowds, and he is a founding member of the School of Collective Intelligence at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (Morocco). After getting a PhD in cognitive psychology from Carnegie Mellon in 1991, he began his professional career as an artificial intelligence engineer and later advised the OECD on its “brain and learning” program for several years. He is the author of the book "Supercollectif" (Fayard, 2018) and of the CD-ROM "Secrets of the Mind" (Ubisoft, 1997; Softkey, 2004).
Given the increasing attention on artificial intelligence and fostering diverse teaching and learning environments, we would like to invite you to submit your questions for Emile Servan-Schreiber, in advance of our upcoming DWED on January 30th by emailing: facdevcppd.psych@utoronto.ca.
Please note: Space is limited due to capacity at the venue. We will not be able to accomodate walk-ins or anyone who has not registered.
