Conversational Swarm Intelligence (CSI) is underpinned by the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) in a novel framework that structures large-scale conversations. It combines the benefits of small-group deliberative reasoning and large-group collective intelligence. The CSI structure simultaneously enables local dialog among small deliberative groups and global propagation of conversational content across a larger population, allowing for more effective real-time deliberations2.
