The ACM Collective Intelligence Conference 2024, an interdisciplinary event sponsored by SIGCHI, was hosted by Chris Riedl on Northeastern's campus this past week, June 27th-June 28th 2024.

Collective Intelligence leaders across disciplines explored how powerful technology can be to leverage and tackle big problems. The two-day conference featured excellent speakers from both corporate and academia and explored topics that focus on how people and computers can be connected so that, collectively, they act more intelligently than any person or group has before. It also exposed businesses and leaders involving ways to make more technologically enabled decisions—how to work smarter, not harder – such as how AI can help groups be more collectively intelligent and when and how individuals and groups should use AI.

Humanics is a leading theme at Northeastern University, and this conference, focused on human-AI interaction, was at the core of that strategic initiative.
