Endgame
Initially, the CIP will be used as a testbed for collective intelligence research which is very exciting in itself. Of course the ultimate endgame would be to move out of the laboratory to a ubiquitous deployment of CIP nodes and users. We see the possibility for use of the CIP within corporations allowing such entities to leverage their own collective intelligence resources to better run their business, develop new products, and serve the public. The CIP can also be used by governments and corporations seeking public opinion for policy development. An interesting application might be in international governmental affairs where governments communicate with one another in a new, constructive voice. Also, we see the public at large making use of the CIP to explore, learn, and create anonymously and securely, without fear of reprisal or censorship from authorities.
