Today was the first out of nine sessions I will have the honor to co-facilitate with Claudio Rivera for the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) #InnoLab series “Universities’ Role in Artificial Intelligence (AI) Innovation Ecosystems.” The goal of #InnoLab is to create a platform where participants can learn, network, and collaborate in developing ideas and projects. In addition to finding this goal very relent, for us this is a perfect opportunity to build on our innovation ecosystem-related work with MIT Jameel World Education Lab as well as seek opportunities to develop the AI Studio that was just opened at Riga Business School. To ensure accountability in my reflection process, I want to share my weekly insights from these sessions. Today, I found John Shawe-Taylor's idea regarding the inherent "wrongness" in how we perceive AI intelligence to be particularly intriguing. John discussed how our excessive focus on intelligence misrepresents our human experience. It's crucial to recognize our shared human experience beyond intelligence. While AI is undoubtedly relevant and here to stay, our lives encompass much more than just intellectual processes. This perspective holds significant importance in education as well. Education shouldn't merely involve the transmission of knowledge; rather, its purpose lies in cultivating profound understanding and shaping our thought processes. Thus, to effectively develop human-centered AI that enhances human life, we must not only understand AI better but also gain a deeper understanding of humanity itself. Fascinating, right? Thank you Reka Tozsa for trusting Riga Business School for already the third time in this journey! I have a feeling that this will be a particularly good one.

Can you guess what's missing here as future skill? In today's rapidly evolving landscape, Artificial Intelligence often overshadows the importance of timeless human skills. As we navigate through the digital era, it's crucial to recognize that some skills, while always essential, are ready to become even more valuable in the future. Recently, I had the privilege of attending a captivating keynote by Perttu Pölönen, where he delved into the central role of future skills in navigating the complexities of tomorrow's world. Perttu's insights resonated deeply with me, reaffirming the importance of improving skills that have always been crucial but are now becoming increasingly indispensable. These future skills encompass traits like critical thinking, creativity, emotional intelligence, adaptability, and more - qualities that cannot be replicated by AI. As professionals, it's essential to recognize that our ability to excel in the future job market depends on our mastery of these fundamental skills. They empower us to thrive amidst uncertainty, drive innovation, and foster meaningful connections in an ever-evolving landscape. #FutureSkills #AI #ContinuousLearning

"𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 - 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆." In his quote Malcolm Gladwell condenses his observations of innovators, which suggest that novel ideas often come from seeing familiar things in new ways, rather than discovering entirely new things. Being an innovator then, is similar to thinking like children who discover the world for the first time on their own terms. Now, for most of us adults this becomes increasingly difficult and requires constant training. One new tool at our disposal are LLMs. Bouschery et al. (2023) had a look at how these transformer-based language models can help us along the design thinking process - and in doing so helping us seeing the familiar from a new perspective. AI helping us to see the world like children again? Unexpected... 😉 👨🚀 👩🚀 🚀 #AI #innovation #designthinking #exploringlikechildren Bouschery, S.G., Blazevic V., and Piller F.T. (2023).

Embracing Uncertainty: The Key to Thriving in the Age of AI In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, driven by advancements in artificial intelligence, embracing uncertainty has become essential for progress. As professionals, we often find comfort in our existing knowledge and expertise. However, this very certainty can become the biggest barrier to growth. The worst enemy of learning is knowing. To truly innovate and stay ahead, we must be willing to unlearn what we know. This might sound paradoxical, but it’s the willingness to let go of outdated paradigms that allows us to absorb new insights and approaches. The limits we live with are often the limits we believe in. By challenging these self-imposed boundaries, we open ourselves to unprecedented opportunities. Exposing ourselves to the unknown is not just about facing risks; it’s about creating a mindset that welcomes new challenges and fosters resilience. In the age of AI, this adaptability is crucial. It enables us to leverage technology effectively, drive meaningful change, and build a future that benefits everyone. Let’s commit to this journey of continuous learning and adaptation. By doing so, we can not only enhance our own capabilities but also contribute to a more innovative, inclusive, and prosperous world. #AI #Innovation #ContinuousLearning #Leadership #FutureOfWork #UnlearnAndRelearn #GrowthMindset
