Have you ever observed ants and wondered about their skillful and well organized work? When you see ants walk confidently across the kitchen counter, don't you think ants seem to have a plan they have made in groups? They seem to know where they are going and what needs to be done. How else can ants organize highways, build elaborate nests, stage epic raids, and do all the other things that ants do?

However, you are wrong. Ants aren't clever little engineers, architects, or warriors, at least not as individuals. "Ants aren't smart, but ant colonies are," says Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University. A colony can solve problems unthinkable for individual ants, such as finding the shortest path to the best food source, allocating workers to different tasks, or defending a territory from neighbors. As individuals, ants might not be smart, but as colonies they respond quickly and effectively to their environment. They do it with something called swarm intelligence. It means the collective behavior of a group of animals, especially social insects that are each following very basic rules. We can find many more examples of this swarm intelligence from bees, herring, and so on, in addition to ants.

How do the simple actions of individuals add up to the complex behavior of a group? How do hundreds of honeybees make a critical decision about their hive if many of them disagree? What enables a school of herring to coordinate its movements precisely so that it may change direction in a flash, like a single, silvery organism?

None of them grasps the big picture, but each of them contributes to the group's success. The collective abilities of such animals seem miraculous even to the biologists who know them best.

Where does this swarm intelligence come from, then? During the past few decades, researchers have come up with intriguing insights. One key to an ant colony, for example, is that no one's in charge. No generals command ant warriors. No managers boss ant workers. The queen plays no role except to lay eggs. Even with half a million ants, a colony functions just fine with no management at all. It relies instead upon countless interactions between individual ants, each of which is following simple rules of thumb. Scientists describe such a system as self-organizing.

That's how swarm intelligence works: simple creatures following simple rules, each one acting on local information. No ant sees the big picture. No ant tells any other ant what to do. No leadership is required. Even complex behavior may be coordinated by relatively simple interactions.

Different animals have different methods of interaction. For example, ants leave a trail of pheromones so that other ants may follow them. A key component of bee interaction is movement. When bees need to move their hive to a new place, scout bees go out in search of a suitable place to live in. When they return, they each do a type of dance. The happier the bee is about the new location, the faster the dance is.

In addition, the dance includes a code with directions to the new location. The excited dancers excite other scout bees. These bees then fly out to check out the new locations. They come back, get close together, and dance with the other excited bees. The bees will not move until they are all excited, or in agreement about the best location. Once a large enough group of bees all agree, they convince the thousands of other bees. Then they all fly together to the new location.

Scientists are realizing how effective swarm intelligence is. Some scientists are applying what they've learned to solve human problems. Thomas Seeley, a biologist at Cornell University, is impressed by how well bees make decisions. According to him, the bees' rules for decision making are: seek a diversity of options, encourage a free competition among ideas, and use an effective mechanism to narrow choices. He is so impressed.

He now uses them at Cornell as chairman of his department. "I've applied what I've learned from the bees to run faculty meetings," he says. He tries to avoid going into a faculty meeting with his mind made up, hearing only what he wants to hear, and pressuring people to conform. He asks his group to identify all the possibilities, show their ideas for a while, then vote by secret ballot. It's exactly what the swarm bees do, which gives a group time to let the best ideas emerge and win. He says that running meetings using swarm intelligence ideas can lead to better decisions. It can also reduce conflict among the staff.

Now, can you find any example of swarm intelligence used in your everyday life? Of course, you can. The Internet search engines can be the example. When you type in a search query, they survey billions of web pages on their index servers, and provide a huge amount of the most relevant information for you at a remarkable speed. There are surely more examples in which you use group smarts like this in your daily life. Don't you think this swarm intelligence will give you more significant help in your life in the future?
