Definition

Crowdsourcing is a method where individuals or organizations obtain ideas, services, or content by soliciting contributions from a large group of people, particularly from an online community, rather than from traditional employees or suppliers. It leverages the collective intelligence of the public to complete tasks, solve problems, or gather information.
