How to Boost Your Innovation Process: The Collaboration between Humans and Artificial Intelligence

Finding a new tool to improve your innovation process can be a daunting task, especially if you are not familiar with the technology. One of the main challenges of learning a new AI-powered tool is asking the right questions to it. This requires a deep understanding of the tool's functionalities and how it can help you achieve your innovation goals. 

Listen to the full discussion between Tim Vorage (MCAM), Dr. Christoph Stehncken (MCAM, ex-AIRBUS), and Dr. Peter Walde (MAPEGY) about the deep meaning and interesting connection between Artificial Intelligence, AI tools, and human decision-making, as well as how the entire process boosts innovation effectively. Below a few highlights from the interview:

The tool (SCOUT) helps you visualize the data and the information and gives you an indication of trends, but then we have to make a decision, as humans. - Dr. Christoph Stehncken.  
At the end, AI is augmented human intelligence, so it helps you putting all the facts and data on the table, but then you have to make the right decision. Humans make decisions. People. Organizations. Not a platform. A deep connection between humans and AI is the key and that's why the user experience is very important for us at MAPEGY. - Dr. Peter Walde.
