4. Fundamental metaphors of the
digital ecosystem
• Drucker (1988) predicted an ICT-enabled technological
transformation of business organization via an ecological
self-organisation Wheatley (1992)
• Meanwhile in popular culture, the idea has significant
currency via Kevin Kelly (1999) and even very recently
in the arts as well (Brian Eno, 2009).

5. “scenius is the intelligence of a whole… operation or
group of people.. – let’s forget the idea of “genius” for a
little while, let’s think about the whole ecology of ideas
that give rise to new thoughts and good new work”.

6. Is it AI?
“A DE is an evolving social media system where the objective function is determined by
the interaction of humans with the system, behavior is convergent and it differs from
social media in that it has a business purpose. It is more than just for fun”
So it’s not Artificial, it’s human The University of Wollongong Centre for
(Holland, 1962) (Rosenblatt, 1958) Digital Ecosystems
