Nowadays, along with the rapid development of information technologies, very often solving a common problem is entrusted to many autonomous units (people, systems). With such an approach, one can tap into the so-called collective intelligence (CI)emerging from the collaboration and competition of many individuals. In this paper, we present recent research on CI related to the effectiveness of using the wisdom of crowds to perform a wide range of problems. For this aim, we first introduce a general framework of CI involving key characteristics of intelligent collectives. Next, we focus on the problem of how diversity and collective cardinality influence collective performance. Then, its applications, which are widely used such as prediction markets and Delphi method, will be presented. Furthermore, some research challenges on the capacity of combining CI with other research fields such as machine learning and social networks are also discussed.
