The work that presents Pierre Lévy in the IV Congress of the Cyber Society is entitled "Towards a Civilization of Collective Intelligence." The author identifies the major changes that have happened in our society. The slides introduce the need for a new language that can establish a link between the process of the machine of cyberspace and the human collective intelligence which is dynamic, constantly changing and that takes form in different languages, from different perspectives.
