The 'Work in Progress' Approach to AI Innovation: Lessons from Max Planck to Kreat.ai
The Evolution of AI and Innovation
In 2016, I had the privilege of speaking at the Max Planck Institute in Germany about AI and the future of innovation. Little did I know that I was unknowingly planting seeds for what would grow into a full-fledged concept years later!
Heartificial Intelligence: Not Just Another Cheesy Portmanteau
Thanks to my brilliant friend Dr. Kiran, we coined the term "Heartificial Intelligence." No, it's not a new dating app for robots – it's about infusing empathy and holistic thinking into AI systems.
The Great AI Debate: Walled Garden or Public Park?
I posed a question that's still hot today: Should AI be a walled garden or a public park? While everyone was building fences, I was dreaming of swings and slides for all! 🎢
Cross-Domain Knowledge Graphs: Ahead of My Time?
I mentioned "cross-domain knowledge graphs" without fully grasping the nitty-gritty. Fast forward to today, and my friend Uday calls to tell me we're building exactly that at Kreat.ai. Talk about being a visionary... or just really good at buzzword bingo! 😉
The Power of Collaboration
My core argument? Single nodes (or people, or companies) tend to be self-centered. True innovation comes from effective collaboration across domains, understanding contradictions, and working together for the greater good.
Ethical AI: The Neutral Observer
When asked to join the Ethical AI bandwagon, I chose to stay neutral. Why? Because AI hadn't shown its full potential (or its full capacity for mayhem) yet. Sometimes, you've got to let the robot toddler stumble a bit before teaching it manners.
A Work in Progress
When Uday asked how I came up with these ideas 8 years ago, my response was simple: "I'm a Work In Progress from a long time." This reminded me of my friend Rajesh Setty's profound quote:
"I am a 'work in progress.' I guarantee my work and leave the progress to God."
Aren't we all works in progress, constantly evolving and growing? 🌱
Introducing Kreat.ai
Speaking of progress, I'm excited to introduce you to Kreat.ai, where we're turning these long-held visions into reality. We're building the cross-domain knowledge graphs and collaborative AI systems I once only dreamed about.
What wild ideas are you nurturing today that might become tomorrow's innovations? Let's connect and discuss – who knows, we might be talking about them 8 years from now!
