Eshel Ben-Jacob

Kollektive Intelligenz

Basiswissen

Eshel Ben-Jacob (1952 bis 2015) war ein israelische Physiker. Sein vorrangiges Forschungsinteresse war die Erforschung kollektiver Intelligenz, zum Beispiel bei Bakterien und Insekten, später auch für Finanzmärkte. Ben-Jacob hat eine sehr große Anzahl von Fachveröffentlichungen geschrieben (siehe die Fußnoten unten). Ben-Jacobs Kernidee einer kollektiven bakteriellen Intelligenz bildet eine wesentliche Stütze der Theorie kollektiver Lernmaschinen des Autoren Howard Bloom. Siehe dazu auch kollektive Intelligenz ↗
