AI Hive Mind Chooses Clean Water Over Education as Top World Priority - Rhea Kelly, Campus Technology

Universal access to clean water should be the world's highest priority, according to a recent pronouncement by a "swarm artificial intelligence" system that connected 70 people in real time via AI algorithms designed to turn them into a "hive mind." Participants in the swarm were attendees of the South by Southwest conference this month in Austin, who were gathered by AI company Unanimous AI to "think together" on a variety of topics and provide "optimized insights."  "With the rise of AI, it's important to keep human knowledge and wisdom in the loop, especially when weighing complex social priorities," commented Louis Rosenberg, CEO of Unanimous AI, in a statement. https://campustechnology.com/articles/2018/03/21/ai-hive-mind-chooses-clean-water-over-education-as-top-world-priority.aspx
