Crowdsourcing
Crowdsourcing is a method of obtaining ideas, services, or content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people, typically via the internet. It leverages collective intelligence and distributed problem-solving, often replacing or supplementing traditional employees or suppliers. Crowdsourcing is used in various fields, including business, science, technology, and the arts, for tasks ranging from data collection to innovation and funding. It relies on the participation and collaboration of volunteers or paid contributors worldwide. Key platforms include Wikipedia, Kickstarter, and Amazon Mechanical Turk. For more information, see Crowdsourcing - Wikipedia.
