Not to be overly critical but:
It does not match my definition of A.I:
"UNU enables groups of online users to think together as a unified emergent intelligence -- a "brain of brains" that can express itself as a singular entity. Touted to as the world's first "hive mind," the UNU platform has had over 60,000 human participants in swarming sessions this year, together answering over 250,000 questions."
Also I would reasonably expect some of those 250.000 questions to beat the odds and get answered right.

- amperexorange 10y agoWell, I think it's pretty clearly an "emergent intelligence" that is distinct from any of the individuals' unique intelligence. In other words, whose intelligence is being represented by the swarm?
