New Preprint: The Wisdom of Intellectually Humble Networks

We’ve just released our new preprint: AI Can Enhance Creativity in Social Networks. In this paper, we probe whether and how the psychological construct of intellectual humility can modulate collective wisdom in a networked interaction setting. Through agent-based modeling and data-calibrated simulations, we provide a proof of concept demonstrating that intellectual humility can foster more accurate estimations while mitigating polarization in social networks. We investigate the mechanisms behind the performance improvements and confirm robustness across task settings and network structures. The paper can be accessed here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2502.02015
