Development Strategy of Collective Intelligence and Its Industrial Clusters

Collective intelligence is an important component of the new generation of artificial intelligence (AI). It plays a decisive role in stimulating and converging innovative forces as well as coupling and integrating large-scale intelligent systems. It is of great significance for promoting deep integration of AI and traditional industries and enabling the sustainable development of the national economy. This study summarizes the overall technical framework of collective intelligence and its major research areas, including:multi-agent systems and optimal decision-making, unmanned swarm systems, open source collective intelligence software, and federated learning. Moreover, it analyzes how these core technologies can be applied in industrial scenarios, in order to establish intelligent processing loops of perception‒cognition‒decision‒action, to support platform economy with distributed intelligence, and to reshape industrial development and digital economy ecosystems. Based on the subjects and application modes of the technical framework, this study analyzes the core industries related to collective intelligence, particularly the software service industry, the smart city industrial cluster, and the intelligent agriculture and port industries based on unmanned swarm systems, by highlighting their significant requirements and empowerment approaches for collective intelligence technologies. Furthermore, this study presents suggestions on how to utilize collective intelligence technologies to foster development of rated industries. It is suggested that we should continuously promote the establishment of open source communities of collective intelligence, enhance the intellectual core of the AI technological innovation ecosystem, and accelerate the domestic substitute of unmanned swarm systems through integrated system research.
