Design Thinking, AI and Innovation

The more I work with clients and projects, implementing the process of design thinking and applied creativity, increasingly the importance of applied creativity is coming to the fore. Today, we have a lot of knowledge, use cases and research available in the area of how we can enhance the level and state of our thinking to solve seemingly complex problems. We also have enough and more examples of applying augmented intelligence to innovate products, services, and business models.

What is needed to optimize the innovation potential is to work on identifying the synergies of both Design Thinking and Artificial Intelligence. At a recent workshop, we conducted at the World University of Design on “Design Thinking and Artificial Intelligence” we unlocked the power of this synergy. Working across close to 200 students, faculty members and industry experts, we realized exponential gains in innovation and creativity.

This approach of taking a singular view can unleash tremendous value and unlock innovation. This seems to be a good option to move ahead rather than worrying right now about the singularity of technology.

How Globotics changing our world!

Humanity is at a crossroads, we face both the opportunities and challenges of a range of powerful and emerging technologies that will drive radical shifts in the way we live. The accelerated pace at which technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), biotechnology, robotics, automation, advanced materials and quantum computing are developing, is already transforming the systems that we take for granted today. From how we produce and transport goods and services to the way we communicate, collaborate or even elect our governments, rapid technological change—which often happens at an exponential pace—is reshaping how we experience the world around us. One of the biggest challenge to keeping on top of emerging technology is that the pace of change is too fast. Changes can be made, and they are worth the short-term distraction today to make a real difference going into tomorrow. Richard Baldwin in his new book ‘The Globotics upheaval – Globalisation, robotics and the future of work’,...

Why are Product Designers Fretting?

Image
Product Designers have been rejoicing in being one step ahead of consumers' expectations as they launched newer incredible experiences and functionalities. Well, not so easy anymore as AI sounds intimidating! Artificial Intelligence is “a machine that can act using human-style reasoning or perception”. AI excels in dynamic personalisation, handling multiple variables and create variations. With that, the possibilities of thinking spurned by Artificial Intelligence has taken consumers' expectations to levels of the fantasy of science fiction. As the imagination runs amok, any new functionality that product designers come up with fails to create the wow effect which a product designer would have desired. It truly is the consumers' world ! It's time for higher levels of creativity and imagination. Therefore the question arises:   Can the contours of the Product Design Process accommodate this energy and ask? Will it change the fundamental approach to designing, or wi...
