The document discusses social machines and outlines some of their key characteristics. It notes that social machines harness human participation on the web to solve problems at large scale. They augment both human intelligence and machines. However, social machines are not fully understood and are difficult to describe, classify, design, anticipate, and observe. The document also discusses how social machines form ecosystems and are not equivalent to Turing machines, as they evolve through interaction rather than having a fixed specification. It outlines some trends in social machines and examples of what they may accomplish in the future by coordinating huge numbers of people.

Framing the Context for SOCIAL MACHINES Nigel Shadbolt
The order of social machines Real life is and must be full of all kinds of social constraint – the very processes from which society arises. Computers can help if we use them to create abstract social machines on the Web: processes in which the people do the creative work and the machine does the administration… The stage is set for an evolutionary growth of new social engines. Berners-Lee, Weaving the Web, 1999

Social Machine Ecosystems • Social machines do not exist in isolation • Ecology of Social Machines - structure of the environment, food chains, producers and consumers • Evolutionary elements - populations (individuals and species), traits/characteristics, he redity, genotypes and phenotypes • Evolutionary mechanisms - variation (mutation, migration, HGT, geneti c drift), selection • Evolutionary outcomes - adaption, co- evolution, competition, co- operation, speciation, extinction

Social Machine Trends • The power of people • The power of open • The power of machines • The power of data • Scale and network effects • Ruthlessly Darwinian
What might Social Machines do in future… • Coordinate 10 million people to stop crime? • Millions of people supporting themselves and others in the delivery of efficient transportation? • Or any scale of people supporting themselves and others in the delivery of well being? • If we can put a man on the moon with 100,000 humans what can we do with 100,000,000 humans and the largest compute and data fabric in history? • Social machines to delight and empower, absorb and empower…
