The future of innovation in the age of artificial intelligence

There are many major issues with artificial intelligence and the future. I would like to discuss the clash between human innovation and artificial intelligence. Trouble is already on the horizon, and while no one is really talking much about it, that’s only because we’re not paying attention to our surroundings and surroundings here in the information age.

Many will tell you that artificial intelligence will never replace humans in certain domains, such as things that involve creativity, categories like; art, storytelling, filmmaking, writing, and innovation. As much as I would like to assure you that these notions are true, I cannot rationally or honestly tell you that they are. We already see the beginnings of AI in those categories, and the graffiti art (writing) is on the wall. We already have AI art, and some of it is indistinguishable from human-made pieces, AI has already passed the Turing test in that domain.

We also have AI novel writers and songwriting and songwriting software, and it’s pretty cool too. We’ve also seen the first AI movies, not that they’re not up to human standards yet, but certainly getting there, and consider, if you will, the reality that there are very few new genres being introduced these days, the most movies are stock stories with only slight derivations. in species. Plots are pretty predictable, and good (high-grossing) Hollywood movies follow certain rules, just like good writing and good art. The rules can be taught to computers, software, and therefore artificial intelligence. AI can also mix and match previously untested combinations and do it in real time and at a very low cost per new unit produced.

As I said before, most innovation is also rule-following and often uses easy-to-follow recombination strategies. Also, for those who believe that everyone who teaches innovation today is really helping people learn to be more creative and innovative, obviously it can’t be that hard to do. And, if it is an easy task, then it is safe to say that Artificial Intelligence can easily conquer it. In fact, it doesn’t take a creative genius to figure out how to do it.

How to imitate creativity and innovation with artificial intelligence

All you would have to do is take IBM’s Watson, plug it into a supercomputer, and feed it all the information in the world. Then simply instruct him to recombine each word or phrase in each language, then ask Watson what that new phrase might mean. It will return with the answers and the percentage probability that each of those answers is correct for each recombination. Those recombination results with high percentage rates, say 75-99%, could be analyzed through crowdsourcing with humans knowledgeable in those areas to see if each of the output responses made any sense. Using this technique, AI Innovating Watson could generate tens of millions of viable original thoughts in a day.

Yes, that would be the first fruitful project at hand, but that one effort would create more original thinking than Leonardo da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin, and Richard Feynman combined than they had in their entire lives. Let’s say that number is 10,000 new original thoughts per knight or 30,000 in total, an incredible number by any standards, but AI using a supercomputer and all the recorded knowledge and information in the world, the breakthrough program could emerge. of AI. with a billion new original thoughts by next weekend and I could keep going until I ran out of things to match.

Does this mean that AI will be the master of innovation? Does this mean that AI will replace human intellectuals? Does this mean that innovation consultants will be a thing of the past? Yes and no. Yes, because eventually it is inevitable and no, because this will not happen overnight, and AI will create a lot of work as it goes along and humans will have to verify all those new concepts, which alone could employ millions of intellectuals. and would cover almost all sectors, industries and intellectual domains. Such a project could last for decades and fill the need for millions of jobs for more than 30 years.
