AI for Creative Solution

This book serves as a guide for organizations aiming to successfully launch new products or projects and tackle diverse and complex problems by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to make these processes more effective and efficient.

The processes of planning and creating new products or services, as well as finding solutions to current challenges, are well-known and generally followed. However, many organizations find that these traditional methods often fail to produce creative solutions. This issue is frequently due to bureaucratic inefficiencies, rigid cultures, and entrenched practices.

To address these problems, a new approach is necessary, and AI can provide that solution. With the recent rise of AI, its potential has been recognized as exceeding our expectations, leading to increased efforts to use AI for problem-solving and generating new ideas.

This book explains how organizations can utilize AI in their problem-solving processes and how AI can help address issues encountered along the way. It illustrates this journey through the example of a small electronics company in California, showing how they overcome challenges and improve their processes with the help of AI while developing a new product.

Moreover, the book addresses a wide range of issues, from macro-level social problems to micro-level organizational issues, demonstrating how AI can contribute to solving them. AI can assist with significant social issues like poverty and educational inequality, as well as with enhancing employee motivation and driving organizational innovation.

The authors believe that combining human creativity with AI can result in unprecedented problem-solving capabilities. They hope this book will be a valuable resource as you embark on this journey.
