Reciprocal issues of machine and human autonomy in an integrated workplace
1st Perosh Research Exchange

2. Plan Technical aspects :autonomous agents
Questions raised at the human side : info. overload
Questions raised at the humain side : democratic aspirations & wellbeing at work
How to think and organize autonomy for workers in a new working world ? Some insights, some solutions in action

3. From automats autonomy to human autonomy
A Swarm Machinery is all about Agents, Interactions and the Environment.
What about humans ? Intelligence as an emergent feature of a set of autonomous agents

4. Reasons to increase agents autonomy
Complexity of the environment – info overload
Great evolutivity, uncertainty
New collective and individual aspirations of workers

6. Collective Intellectual Capital in Action
Buzz, media
(-/+)
Ex. Zappos
Paprec
Enlarged social
environment
Diversity
of competences
Diversity of
”sensibility”
Social medias
Instead of
controlled communication
Multiplicity
of cultures 6 6

7. Collective Intellectual Capital in Action
Wellbeing is a condition to collective efficacy
Work setting could be based on high level human needs (Maslow)
Basic needs should be met
New processes of decision making should be implemented 7 7

9. New processes of decision making should be implemented
Substitute to :
- decision from the top
- idea of democracy : majority or unanimity
Avoid risks linked to big (inflated?) ego and their courtiers
Avoid risk of non decision, endless discussions

10. Principle : Illustration : Consent decision making
Decisions are made only in the absence of reasoned objections from those affected by them.
To deal with complexity, group « wisdom » is +++ <> individual abilities
Deliberately asking for objection invites collective intelligence
Allow for harvesting information to improve decision
Helps to indentify misunderstanding at an early stage 

11. Collective intelligence in action. Some hints

14. Conclusion
News technical evolutions < = > new organisationnal challenge
The future will be different from the past
It must be invented
Collective intelligence is a necessity
