MIT Center for Collective Intelligence

The MIT Center for Collective Intelligence is a research initiative at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that investigates how groups of people and computers can be connected so that—collectively—they act more intelligently than any individual, group, or computer could act alone. The center conducts research across multiple domains including organizational design, crowdsourcing, prediction markets, and human-AI collaboration.

Founded in the mid-2000s, the center has become a leading hub for interdisciplinary research on collective problem-solving. It brings together researchers from computer science, management, cognitive science, and other fields to understand the principles underlying effective collective intelligence. The center has produced influential work on topics such as how to structure teams, design incentive systems, and leverage distributed knowledge.
