• Resumen

  • Anand Kulkarni, co-founder of MobileWorks, a crowdsourcing Web site based in Berkeley CA, is preparing to launch Wish, an interface that lets users of desktop software access crowd intelligence from within an application. Since most users will not want a bunch of novices mucking around with their project, Wish does something most crowdsourcing tools don't--it asks the crowd itself to find skilled experts, and vets them based on past work and credentials. Meanwhile, Lisa Yu at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh PA and Jeffrey Nickerson of Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken NJ are using a blend of crowds and artificially intelligent software to enhance creativity. They set members of a crowd the task of inventing a novel device. Once designs have been submitted, an evolutionary algorithm develops the ideas.
