Humans are not the only species that deliberate in groups to reach decisions; schools of fish, flocks of birds, and swarms of bees can reach rapid decisions about life-or-death issues before finding an optimal solution. Biologists refer to this collaborative decision-making process as swarm intelligence (SI), which enables many social organisms to make decisions that are significantly smarter than the decisions individual members could make on their own.
Using principles of swarm intelligence, study compares platforms that allow brainstorming among large groups
