AI Will Change How You Innovate—Here’s What You Need to Know

AI can improve ideation, validation, and support decision-making in the future. However, current implementations of AI within innovation teams can cause laziness and mediocrity. We are at risk of outsourcing our key differentiators as humans: creativity and empathy.

We should try out synthetic personas, but only in conjunction with our own validation interviews. We must learn how to spot and compensate for AI biases just as we should our own. We are spending billions of dollars to train the latest AI models. How much are you spending on training your team?
