Abstract

Contemporary times are characterized by the intensive use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), in particular, by digital mobile devices resulting from advances in technological processes, above all, the convergence between: science, information, technology and innovation, which , affects the academic, professional and personal activities of all subjects, in their daily lives. So, how can we think of a collective intelligence capable of dialoguing with cyberspace without losing sight of the anthropology that exists in this digital space? How can the anthropology of cyberspace overcome the hegemonic perspective behind ICTs, with a neoliberal bias? How is the relationship between collective intelligence: for an anthropology of cyberspace reflected in Information Science (IS)? In view of the above, the objective is to reflect collective intelligence: through an anthropology of cyberspace, from the perspective of the social paradigm of information. To this end, the methodology is bibliographic in nature with a qualitative approach. As a result, it was clear that the collective intelligence project is very relevant for all of us. However, it needs to have an anthropological perspective with a view to “Social Competence” which aims to precisely identify the cultural (informational) needs of the subjects. Therefore, it is concluded that it is necessary to have access to safe and reliable information sources, in order to mitigate and/or face the technological determinist perspective of contemporary times, submerged in the processes of so-called digital transformation, theoretically harmful to society as a whole.
