AI GLOSSARY

Swarm Intelligence

Miscellaneous & Conceptual

A form of collective intelligence that emerges from the decentralized, self-organized behavior of many simple agents, inspired by natural systems like ant colonies, bird flocks, and bee swarms. In AI, swarm intelligence algorithms are used for optimization, robotics, and multi-agent systems, where complex, effective group behavior arises from simple local rules followed by each individual agent.
