Co-Creation & Collective Intelligence
Rethios Insights 2026
Collective Intelligence (CI) is the shared or group intelligence that emerges from the collaboration and competition of many individuals.
Each person must have private information, even if it's just an eccentric interpretation of known facts.
People's opinions are not determined by those around them (avoiding the "echo chamber").
People are able to specialize and draw on local knowledge.
