swarm intelligence; collective intelligence
Technical term used in computer science, robotics, and biology for the emergent intelligent behavior of decentralized, self-organized systems (e.g., ant colonies, bird flocks).
Swarm intelligence is applied to algorithms inspired by the behavior of ant colonies and bird flocks.
Compound of 群 (ぐん, 'group, swarm') and 知能 (ちのう, 'intelligence'). A modern calque from English 'swarm intelligence' or 'collective intelligence', used primarily in academic and technical contexts.
