Smart intelligence works without a leader by relying on the independent actions of individuals. Each person follows basic rules or instincts, contributing to the group’s overall success. When individuals act responsibly and make their own decisions, the collective achieves better outcomes through decentralized coordination.

Peter Miller emphasizes that collective intelligence can outperform individual efforts when effectively coordinated. He highlights how smart swarms in nature solve complex problems without centralized control, and he believes that humans can learn from these natural systems to harness collective intelligence more effectively (Miller, 2018, pp. 101). The key is to balance independence and cooperation to enable smarter decision-making in groups.

The purpose of the article "The Smart Swarm" is to explain about the swarm intelligence and to illustrate how groups of animals and humans' technologies apply this concept in the real life. Also, this article emphasizes the importance of collective intelligence and demonstrates strengths of group.

Human smart swarms are used in a variety of fields like business, technology, and science. They imitate natural swarms like ants and bees to solve problems collectively. Examples include the use of algorithms in traffic management, decision-making in business specifically Uber, it applies smart swarm concepts by using real-time data from drivers and riders to optimize routes, match users, and dynamically adjust pricing. The collective input allows the platform to function efficiently, resembling a swarm where individual actions benefit the whole system.

Going forward, human smart swarms are expected to evolve with advances in AI and machine learning, which can enhance collective decision-making by providing smarter insights and helping humans coordinate better.

According to Miller (2010), "a smart swarm is a group of individuals who respond to one another and to their environment in ways that give them the power, as a group, to cope with uncertainty, complexity, and change (99). The example of smart swarm in the nature is the behavior of ants. Miller suggests that ants can react to the errors by replacing other ants' task when they are not able to conduct their missions because of decentralization and independence from leader (100). Although animals can not communicate like humans, they organize network and serve their tasks.

In the article author mention about decentralized problem solving. Decentralized problem solving involves multiple independent participants collaborating to find solutions. Key features include autonomy, diverse perspectives, and scalability. Applications include open-source software, crowdsourcing, blockchain, and community initiatives. Benefits are innovation, engagement, and efficiency. Challenges involve coordination, quality control, and achieving consensus. Overall, it fosters collaboration and leverages collective strengths for better outcomes.

Decentralized problem solving is means a group work together and different people work on different part instead of one person making all decisions. In this way, everyone can share the idea and experiments together. It can lead to more efficiency. And in this way, it can help people to make the whole teamwork system stronger and more flexible.
