The AI collaboration era (UPDATED)
Artificial intelligence used to collaborate on projects and improve the teamwork productivity
1/7

Solution

We know so far that AI performs work in perfect repetition and reliability. Daily tasks (mostly execution tasks) could take so much creative time from the teams. Imaging in the future where some of that some tasks could be replaced by cognitive technology, would improve people's work and win more creative power.

The machine learning process have the ability to learn from data that we provide, making simple and complex tasks. In a future scenario, cognitive technology will understand new environments very quickly and allow computers to learn about our technical tasks, preferences, quick decisions, time management and a lot of other things.

This AI technology could think like a human to analyze and interpret all of the data we provide in minutes, including ideas, unstructured texts, images, audio and video to execute the technical or analytical work. It would save people's time and it also gives a chance to creative minds to improve their work.

Describe the challenge that the team faces:

The team have a sort of different situations and a great volume of data to analyze for each project. Plus, they have to plan the best way to the execute their tasks based on all the information they have and the time they have to do it. While they are into the creative process, they have to take some decisions and shape their ideas better without wasting time.

Briefly describe your solution:

An artificial intelligence technology that execute tasks that take so much or the teams time, like: coding, prototyping, doing statistics, testing, learning new technologies to be able to make something or looking for someone to do it (like using a new software to execute the project). This technology could learn and understand the users data, the project needs, sketches, texts, voices and execute the "hard work".

Explain how it improves teamwork and solves the problems we encounter today:

  • Fast ANALYSIS: teams can have a project overview in a short time to make better decisions, adjustments, tests...
  • Improve the creative process and the work quality: more time to concept, less time to execute tasks. Gives more engagement for teams makes possible to everybody collaborate;
  • No need to learn so many new technologies: The system looks for the right solution and tool to execute each different project in a faster way; user gets the best results and take the best decisions;

Explain how it works in 5 steps:

  1. The team setup their needs, customize preferences
  2. The user input data , setup the task or algorithms
  3. AI engines process the information and execute part of the task – like coding, prototyping, doing statistics, testing
  4. User gets the taks done and make better decisions AI finishes the task according to user decision

Solid presentation! And definitely relates to the latest news about possible future of AI in IT:) Considering the brief, how do you think, is it possible to develop this subject also into a user journey for the team from Project Kit? Looks like the jury is interested in examples:)

Hey Celina,

Tia makes a good point. Myself and the jury also are very interested in seeing how you or the creative team would leverage this technology.

The thinking behind this idea is super solid and I think if you look at Ai tech like palantir or this Ted talk by Shyam Sankar. but I believe if you want to really take this idea to the next level you have to put yourself in the shoes of our personas and show how they could leverage the tech to achieve their goals :)

Hope this helps - I am also curious how you feel personally about cyborg work styles? and what this might mean for how we value 'work' in the future?

Hey Adam thanks so much for this feedback! I'm building more slides to show how this could work inside the team work flow. I'll check the Ted Talk too, it will be very helpful. Soon I come back with more updates! :D

Hey Celina, I completely agree in the necessity to outsource those daily time-consuming stuff you mentioned. But there is one thing which I think we shoud not forget while outsourcing: Some stultifying work is also an essential part of the creative process. While prototyping with your own hands, either you use a 3d-printer or paper your brain is working on new options to reach your goal. While testing your material, your website your whatever... you come up with new ideas.

Let's face it: What we really want to outsource to technology is what we do not like to do. That part of work we ar not interested in, we experience as boring and senseless relating to the progress on our way to the goal we want to achieve. That is something very individual. It seems a long way until AI will be able to be passionate about something. While a human beeing looses motivation if you take exactely the part of work away from him/her, he/she is passionate about, AI would not mind at all. Just some thaughts...

Best and good luck! Hanna

Thanks Hanna for your feedback. :) I agree with you, we do need to prototype with our own hands, it's definitely part of the creative process . This still a work in progress concept, the main idea here is a kind of collaboration between computer and users, to get more time for the creative process.... is more than letting the machine do everything without the human touch. It's using artificial intelligence to process more information than a human is capable to find the best and faster solution to get the job done!

All the best!

Hey Celina, to be honest I think every important idea which can lead to progress should keep its "work in progress-factor" on its way :) It would be very interesting if AI in your concept is more an assistant or more a collaborator which nearly can become an empathetic "who" and kind of recognize what it has to do to generate more time for the creative process. Am I right that you definitely don't want it to be another administrative task? Or could it may become one, I mean really clearly arranged only one administrative task instead of the many diffenert tasks we have to manage as creatives nowadays. Means it is fed with information along the way of your creative working routine and generates the assistance you need most on it's own? I am so curious about the development of your concept! Best wishes, Hanna

Hey, Hanna! Curious about your and Celina's discussion, so let me join, if you don't mind;) I agree with you about this part: " Some stultifying work is also an essential part of the creative process". But in this contest, we should think considering the technologies development. For example, the system, called DeepCoder is already able to provide services, which today are provided by "human" programmers. If this technology works well, it will be used, because such an improvement is the great input into the task solution process. So I wouldn't think of the transferring our routine tasks to the AI from the position of loosing something:) This is the part of the progress, of human civilization evolution, it's not bad or good from this point, it is simply what we are going to face. And roughly saying, the best thing we can do is to have fun with it:) And, If I understand Celina's concept (Celina, correct me if I wrong:)), she is trying to show us not the AI itself in the creative process, but rather the new form of cooperation between us and AI, in which there is no strict separation of tasks. In this "collaboration" all users' and AI's work processes are merged. And we could prototype with our own hands but in more effective way:)

Hey Tia, what would open innovation be without discussion? :) I completely agree with you about not thinking of transferring our routine tasks to the AI as a loss of something. But as you say "it is simply what we are going to face" my question is: How can we get ready to jump on this train which prospectively is not going to stop for a while to let us overwhelmed comparatively ambling human beeings get in? Are we just going to have blind trust in what is going to happen? Who will be responsible for what? Of course we should have fun with progress! I hate to be the party pooper because I love having fun, too! But I also like illuminating issues from as many perspectives as possible. So how can this progress, this "something" (whatever it exactly may be and however it will look like) become great fun and something liberating and something that expands our possibilities as human beeings?

Something we could live without, but we do not want to anymore... Something which makes us more independent in the long run... Something which prepares us to handle the Highly Improbable and become more antifragile -> Very interesting book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifragile

I am looking forward to watch this project grow! Best, Hanna

Well, I'll try to answer your questions shortly, because this discussion goes already off-topic, at least under Celina's idea:) In my opinion, the only way to get ready for something is to be informed about it, or to be involved in it. If we are involved in creating our "tomorrow", there would be no questions about trust and responsibility. That's why we are here, in a way:)

P.S. Dear Celina, please forgive us for such a philosophic debates on your territory!:)

...while we werde discussing, Celina delivered an update of her idea which nails down her idea, wich I still really like and deserves an all-star-rating. I also like how active you, Tia are in commenting here. As jovoto is an "open" innovation-site I do not think a short discussion which may becomes a little "off-road" should be a reason to feel sorry. In a "big-happy-family surrounding" you won't find any motivation to innovate. Anyway... feel free to send a private message if there still remains something to discuss.

Good luck to you Celina! Hope you are going to travel to Berlin to create the future of work!

Hey girls!!! It's a very nice discussion over here! Just had time to read all now! I guess both of you made very good point of views of you think, and well, this is SO important because we do need different point of views to understand how people think and also see in the other side. As Hanna said: what would open innovation be without discussion? About Tia asked above, yes, the project is using AI for collaborating with us. I guess there's no way some human decisions and particularly the creative process could be replaced by a machine. AI is no longer a science fiction, is already a reality that we have to face it. What I thought was bringing the technology to walk side by side on our work journey, so it could help to make better decisions based in a better analysis of the process, or a faster deliver of the tasks! Something I was reading two days ago and may be inspiring as well to think about it, was this article on Fast Company https://www.fastcompany.com/3068492/how-ai-is-changing-the-way-companies-are-organized “What we concluded is that what AI is definitely doing is not eliminating jobs, it is eliminating tasks of jobs, and creating new jobs, and the new jobs that are being created are more human jobs” . So soon or later we have to face it, and I hope we take the best from it :) All the best for you two, and of course you can keep your discussion here :D

and another interesting analysis on AI is here, that I'd like to add to discussion :) https://futurism.com/the-age-of-ai-what-you-need-to-know-to-prepare-for-synthetic-intelligence/ "This is the most important issue we will face in the 21st century. The people developing it are not going to stop to wait and see what we think about it. Rather than spending our time bickering about politics we should be planning how to bring AI along safely as it will change everything and redefine life on earth."

Feels like our part is to be exercised and focused with a kind of relaxed opennes when this "tennis ball machine" is going to be turned on and speeds up... Survival of the open-minded and agile ones :)

Yeah, but I still prefer to believe that we can always have control to turn on/ turn of and control the speed of this machine.... something based on the instructions we give. Giving AI total autonomy seems to be a little too scary for me too. :)
