AI isn’t just powering chatbots — it’s shaping how decisions are made in healthcare, finance, and even government.
Collective intelligence isn’t abstract theory — it’s what makes citizen assemblies work, open-source projects thrive, and diverse teams outperform homogeneous ones.
Yet too often, leaders are left with hype, confusion, or tools that don’t fit their needs. This programme gives you the clarity to understand these forces, and the practical frameworks to decide how they can support your work, your team, and your future.
This course is designed for curious professionals who want clarity on AI and collective intelligence. No prior technical knowledge is assumed.
