Abstract
The tools for crowdsourcing have been a research focus for quite some time. However, even today, crowdsourcing platforms have remained rather technologically rudimentary as simply idea dropboxes and discussion forums. Our research has indicated that technical modifications to current crowdsourcing platforms are needed for crowds to generate more novel and useful solutions. In this article, we briefly describe basic technology requirements to foster collective co-production. Then, we suggest further digital innovations involving the use of AI technologies that are needed to maximize the potential of crowdsourcing.
期刊介绍:
The interdisciplinary journal Technovation covers various aspects of technological innovation, exploring processes, products, and social impacts. It examines innovation in both process and product realms, including social innovations like regulatory frameworks and non-economic benefits. Topics range from emerging trends and capital for development to managing technology-intensive ventures and innovation in organizations of different sizes. It also discusses organizational structures, investment strategies for science and technology enterprises, and the roles of technological innovators. Additionally, it addresses technology transfer between developing countries and innovation across enterprise, political, and economic systems.
