Methods and systems for enabling collective superintelligence

Abstract

The present disclosure describes systems and methods for enabling real-time conversational dialog among a large population of networked human users while facilitating convergence on groupwise decisions, insight extraction, and solutions, and amplifying collective intelligence. A plurality of computing devices associated with members of a population of participants is provided, wherein the plurality of computing devices is networked via a computer network and in communication with a central server. In some cases, the central server divides the population into a plurality of subgroups and enables an LLM-powered conversational surrogate agent associated with each subgroup. The conversational surrogate agent is configured to repeatedly observe a conversation among members of its assigned subgroup and store content of the conversation to extract insights from the conversation at appropriate intervals. The conversational surrogate agent assesses a numerical measure of conviction, confidence, or scope associated with each unique insight within the conversation, passes the insights and the numerical measure to other subgroups and modulates a strength of the insights based on the numerical measures.
