Completely FWIW… Though probably contrary to purest aims of Collective Intelligence, I wonder if the inclusion of social engineering &/or behavioral psychology into the design & implementations might not improve many (most?) aspects of performance? In what seems at the moment a collection of ironies…

I would think that the main goal of Collective Intelligence as a whole would be to overcome the burdens and inefficiencies of societal structures as relates to creative, best solutions. Yet the very behaviors/structures Collective Intelligence would overcome persist, perhaps insist on imposing the same limitations on Collective Intelligence efforts themselves. A partial solution might be found based on frankly tricking (the polite word would be encouraging) those involved to participate as desired, in a way more free of constraints, while maybe adding some sort of anti-biasing for tweaking.

Implementing such a solution would of course likely be analogous to jabbing the back end of an angry bull with a hot poker should it become known. And you’d be introducing something almost like a self-destruct mechanism, providing the means for an over-riding bias to be purposely introduced — a lot of energy would have to be spent designing safeguards to preserve overall integrity.
