Thomas Malone He is founder and director of Collective Intelligence Design Lab del MIT, a group of experts that explore how people and machines can create a supermind to improve intelligence and communication.
The superminds are the union of a collective that thinks better than a single person and exists since prehistory. The novelty is that now we can count on the machines to stagger that power.
Some people are afraid that machines or software will take away their job. Mr. Malone defends that in all the technological revolutions at the beginning, it is disjunctive, but then he creates other jobs that we can not even imagine now. The superminds are the sum of all the minds of the human collective, the machines only connect us but they are not capable of functioning without our help.
We have to stop thinking about humans against machines and start thinking about humans with robots. The only thing that machines do, after all, is to enhance our human connectivity: they accelerate superly.
The goal of Tau is to create a supermind, to solve the limitations inherent in human communication on a large scale.
Able to deduce consensus and understand discussions, Tau can generate and execute code automatically based on consensus, through a process known as code synthesis. This will greatly accelerate the production of knowledge and streamline most of the large-scale collaborative efforts we can imagine in today's world.
We are about to see great changes that will help humanity to understand us better and overcome the barriers of communication.
