Throughout human history, progress has almost never been made by individuals acting alone, but rather by the power of groups. Thomas Malone calls these groups “superminds” – entities like hierarchies, communities, markets, and democracies that can accomplish far more by drawing upon their collective abilities to create, learn, and make decisions together. In this talk based on his recent book, Superminds, Malone uses striking examples and case studies to show how computers can help create much more intelligent superminds, not just with artificial intelligence, but perhaps even more importantly with hyper-connectivity: connecting people to one another at massive scales and in rich, new ways.

Over the past five years, digital health innovation has consistently attracted billions of dollars in venture capital amid healthcare payment reform and care redesign. Ancient problems are being attacked in different ways and dogma overturned with real world data. However, complex healthcare bureaucracies, giant vested interests by incumbents, and slow change by healthcare professionals continue to slow the adoption of the best solutions. Examples will demonstrate how startups and entrepreneurs are attacking old problems with new business models and tech-enabled solutions that scale care while collapsing costs.
