AIでイノベーションを加速させる ある自動車メーカーは、新車の企画期間を18カ月からわずか4カ月に短縮した。大学の研究者たちは、数カ月かかる抗生物質の発見をわずか1週間に圧縮した。熱交換装置メーカーは、製品開発サイクルタイムを半減させた。 共通するパターンは、イノベーションワークフローに組み込まれたAIが、単なるブレインストーミングではなく、意思決定サイクルを圧縮しているということだ。 AIツイン 加速の可能性を示すスタートアップの1つがAlgoVerdeだ。同社の社長であるウラジミール・ヤシモビッチ氏は、自社のプラットフォームをイノベーションの「フライトシミュレーター」と呼ぶ。同氏は、これを従来の企業における物理的な会議やバラバラな承認プロセスという「障害物コース」と対比させ、このプラットフォームによって企業はイノベーションプロセス全体をソフトウェア上でシミュレートし、迅速に実験できると主張する。...

Surviving The Next Shock: How To Fortify Your Supply Chain Now
Global supply chains have driven decades of economic growth but are under unprecedented strain. Recent events exposed vulnerabilities created during a long period of stability ensured by a single superpower, the United States. These include Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, pandemic-induced factory shutdowns, and a new era of unpredictable tariffs. Executives need to rethink long-held assumptions about effective supply chain strategies.
Too Good To Be Human? AI's Surprising Bias Against Quality Writing
The first Turing Test may have been conducted at the ball in My Fair Lady. Professor Higgins has wagered with his friend, Pickering, that he can transform a flower girl into a lady through the science of language. He knows that people judge others by their manner of speech , and he’ll use his skills as a professor of elocution to pull off the ruse. The final test comes when a rival professor conducts his own appraisal of Eliza on the dance floor.
Rethinking Innovation: The Contrasting Ecosystems Of Silicon Valley And Shenzhen
Silicon Valley is the paragon of innovation ecosystems. The combination of strong research universities, venture capital and a remarkable accumulation of risk-taking talent continues to produce some of the world’s most valuable companies. The magic sauce, which is more than a simple combination of elements, has been chronicled in books like The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America.
From The Universal Self-Instructor To The AI-Powered Tutor
The Universal Self Instructor: An Epitome of Forms and General Reference Manualwas published in 1883 during a time of significant change. The Industrial Revolution was gaining strength, immigration was surging, and the cities were growing at a rapid pace, some doubling in size in a decade. People were trying to make sense of their changing world and adapt to the challenges of an industrial society.
How To Trust Your Gut When You Live In A Sea Of Data
We all live in a sea of data, but three very public professions wallow in it: baseball, poker and election prediction. These three illustrate the benefits and pitfalls of a data-dominant approach to decision making. The key challenge in each is to know when it makes sense to trust the data and when it makes sense to interpret it through the lens of your instincts – instincts borne of experience that just can’t be captured in numbers. Let’s start with baseball.
How To Jump-Start Learning At Work Original
How To Jump-Start Learning At Work There is a paradox at the heart of the new AI technologies. One the one hand, they make almost everything more efficient. Andy Jassy, CEO of Amazon, reports that Amazon has alreadysaved $260 million and 4500 developer-years of work just in software upgrades. Klarna, a customer service company, claims that its AI assistant handles two-thirds of customer service chats and is doing the work of 700 full time agents.
A Magical Slack Time Machine
Generative AI is like a magical slack time machine. It has the potential to free up reams of time for knowledge workers. People can use it to become much more productive at a wide range of tasks, from writing code to writing marketing materials, from doing complex analyses to writing reports based on those analyses.
Do You (Really) Need A Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer?
AI is changing business profoundly and quickly. It is enabling new business models, making existing business models radically more efficient, and creating the potential for products conceived in entirely new ways. It is also making individual contributors more productive at day-to-day tasks, from writing code to writing memos. How should business leaders manage the breadth and depth and speed of this disruption? Many people are advocating for a new role, that of a Chief AI Officer.
How Shifting Work Is Hurting Your Bottom Line
Shifting work to your customers is an oddly attractive way of driving efficiency. It is often called self-service, but that term can be an oxymoron. It is, of course, efficient for me to force you to do work that I used to do, but it is clearly inefficient for you. And yet this shifting of work has become frustratingly common – and it brings with it costs that companies often fail to consider in adopting automation.
Empower Your Employees To Use Generative AI
Generative AI makes it possible for individuals in a wide variety of professions to become far more productive. They can do so without anyone's permission - at school, at work, at home. They don’t even have to be public about their use of the tools. I have used them to write a computer program (in a language that I don't know), to critique the writing of others as editor of a journal, to edit my own writing, and to create images far more interesting than any I would have created on my own.

Overcoming Resistance to Innovation
By Jim Euchner In “Lean Startup in Large Organizations1,” innovation expert James A. Euchner explores the reasons why corporations are hard-wired to resist change.
