Combining human and computer intelligence could help solve the world’s most vexing problems, researchers envisioned in an article published Monday in the journal Science. Researchers from Cornell University and the Human Computation Institute want more humans to help out in accelerating research and finding solutions to life’s most difficult problems, such as cancer, HIV, climate change and drought. Crowdsourcing analysis of research materials isn’t new. So-called “games with a purpose” offload some of the work of analyzing data to humans.
Because of the Nash equilibrium and the governing dynamics of quantum mechanics I have long believed that quantum computing is not feasible without first imbuing said quantum computer with an ideology. This looks like a step in this direction.
Hi, I'm glad this discussion has come back up. I claim to have discovered the concept of crowdsifting some years back and I think this article certainly expands on the idea. Please see my press release from 2011 - http://www.prlog.org/11589301-crowdsifting-forecast-includes-massive-brainstorms.html
