Acerca del Laboratory of Social Machines en MIT Media Lab

Digital networks have radically increased the speed and scope with which individuals can effect social change, transforming the relationship between people and institutions. But the impact to date of this transformation has been more disruptive and ad hoc, as opposed to constructive and systematic. Existing tools and practices for harnessing the potential of digital networks have failed to sustain a public sphere where institutions and individuals can come together to understand, learn and act constructively on societal problems. In this talk, we will introduce our approach to building and deploying “social machines” that bring system solutions to critical global challenges in learning, journalism and governance.
