Swarm AI

The book describes, using clear and concise language, the next generation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which consists of swarms of hundreds of thousands of intelligent digital agents that exhibit collective intelligence greater than the sum of the intelligence of individual agents. These agents have access to domain knowledge stored in the attached ontology and do not need training to operate. Swarms of agents self-organise to adapt to environmental changes, resist hacking, and coevolve with the systems they interact with.

The author explains the basics of Swarm AI and its uses, including adaptive schedulers, pattern recognisers, semantic processors, variable geometry engineering products, and teams of space robots. They show how swarms of agents can handle operational tasks in businesses and protect nations from pandemics, financial crises, and military attacks.

The book is written for curious readers who want to understand the simple principles behind the power of the next generation of AI. It is also aimed at business executives, administrators, politicians, government leaders, regulators and policy makers, offering them insights into the new tools that will transform the organisations they lead and the world they inhabit.
