Russian investors have invested in a collective intelligence support startup
Despite the idle talk of pro-mobile, Prokhorov’s significant contribution to the development of breakthrough technologies and technologies of tomorrow cannot be denied. And I believe in -mobile success. And I was doubly glad to read today the news that Prokhorov and Jordan were investors and invested $ 5 million in the system of collective intelligence - the startup Witology.
Witology is supposed to make money by giving its customers the opportunity to solve their internal problems with the help of their own employees. Witology works in the field of collective intelligence - crowdsourcing. On the company's website, the key idea of ​​the project was voiced: “search for people through the search for ideas”, identifying intelligent employees when solving complex problems. There are also several articles about the technologies used. It is planned that the buyers of the service will be companies with a staff of thousands of people.
On Habré already discussed the prospects of crowdsourcing . Even experiments were conducted. On Wikipedia, crowdsourcing is defined as the transfer of certain production functions to an indefinite circle of persons on the basis of a public offer that does not imply the conclusion of an employment contract.
Crowdsourcing effectively transforms a large number of expert opinions into qualitative results. In fact, crowdsourcing is one of the main mechanisms of the following metasystem ( according to Turchin ). It can be assumed that the system's functionality will include an idea repository, forums, a system of expert assessments, ratings and karma of experts / employees, etc.
')
As the developers promise, the online system engine can be installed locally or placed on their servers. As I see it, despite the fact that the local deployment of such a database significantly reduces the risk of leakage of ideas, but placing on the company's server will potentially allow getting a stream of ideas directly from Witology, as from a collective intelligence system.
We are waiting for more detailed articles from Witology itself.
