CSU requires both collective insight - i.e., accurate and deep understanding of a situation derived from uncertain and often sparse data and collective foresight - i.e., the ability to predict what will happen in the future. When it comes to complex scenarios, the need for a distributed CSU naturally emerges, as a single monolithic approach not only is unfeasible: it is also undesirable. We therefore propose a principled, critical analysis of AI techniques that can support specific tasks for CSU to derive guidelines for designing distributed systems for CSU.engrestrictedAccessconferenceObject82282900049507190011410.23919/ICIF.2018.8455458Collective situational understandingArtificial intelligence for situational understandingCritical analysis of artificial intelligence techniques2-s2.0-85054089533
