Book Description

One of the greatest challenges in the ever-changing world of IT is to create and maintain an innovation culture and align innovation activities with company strategy. This book provides a fresh perspective on innovation management activities in an IT environment using examples from both start-ups and established companies such as Cisco, Ericsson Nikola Tesla, Lufthansa Systems, Worldline, Amdocs, Telefonica and Enea. This book addresses the following issues: The software development environment offers many possibilities for innovation, yet also places some constraints on the innovation process at the same time. It considers how this can be bypassed to bring success to the company. It is a challenge to create and maintain an innovation culture using an agile process in the area of software development with its short cycles. This book describes how to bring innovation challenges closer to developers and use their experience and vision to create new projects. It also shows how to inspire software engineers using incremental and often small but useful money-saving improvements. The fourth industrial revolution changes companies from the inside and brings changes to common agile product management processes in IT. This book examines the effects on innovation management and what mechanisms are used for success in this new environment.

Book Description

Technology advances are making tech more . . . human. This changes everything you thought you knew about innovation and strategy. In their groundbreaking book, Human + Machine, Accenture technology leaders Paul R. Daugherty and H. James Wilson showed how leading organizations use the power of human-machine collaboration to transform their processes and their bottom lines. Now, as new AI powered technologies like the metaverse, natural language processing, and digital twins begin to rapidly impact both life and work, those companies and other pioneers across industries are tipping the balance even more strikingly toward the human side with technology-led strategy that is reshaping the very nature of innovation. In Radically Human, Daugherty and Wilson show this profound shift, fast-forwarded by the pandemic, toward more human—and more humane—technology. Artificial intelligence is becoming less artificial and more intelligent. Instead of data-hungry approaches to AI, innovators are pursuing data-efficient approaches that enable machines to learn as humans do. Instead of replacing workers with machines, they're unleashing human expertise to create human-centered AI. In place of lumbering legacy IT systems, they're building cloud-first IT architectures able to continuously adapt to a world of billions of connected devices. And they're pursuing strategies that will take their place alongside classic, winning business formulas like disruptive innovation. These against-the-grain approaches to the basic building blocks of business—Intelligence, Data, Expertise, Architecture, and Strategy (IDEAS)—are transforming competition. Industrial giants and startups alike are drawing on this radically human IDEAS framework to create new business models, optimize post-pandemic approaches to work and talent, rebuild trust with their stakeholders, and show the way toward a sustainable future. With compelling insights and fresh examples from a variety of industries, Radically Human will forever change the way you think about, practice, and win with innovation.

Book Description

Creativity must be turned into innovation that adds value and leads to strategic action. Innovation is often associated with Silicon Valley, expensive research and development departments, and expensive commercialization that primarily benefits a small portion of the world’s population. A small portion of the world’s population working together to solve wicked green problems is not enough either. Green creativity and eco-innovation are necessary to help solve green problems by making products and services available and affordable to the masses. Multidisciplinary Approaches in AI, Creativity, Innovation, and Green Collaboration focuses on the importance of green creativity, eco-innovation, and collaboration to create a more sustainable world. It builds on the available literature and joint expertise in the field of management while providing further research opportunities in this dynamic field. Covering topics such as eco-leadership, green marketing, and social responsibility communication, this premier reference source is a comprehensive and timely resource for government officials, decision makers, business leaders and executives, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

Book Description

This book enables readers to interrogate the technical, rhetorical, theoretical, and socio-ethical challenges and opportunities involved in the development and adoption of augmentation technologies and artificial intelligence. The core of our human experience and identity is forever affected by the rise of augmentation technologies that enhance human capability or productivity. These technologies can add cognitive, physical, sensory, and emotional enhancements to the body or environment. This book demonstrates the benefits, risks, and relevance of emerging augmentation technologies such as brain–computer interaction devices for cognitive enhancement; robots marketed to improve human social interaction; wearables that extend human senses, augment creative abilities, or overcome physical limitations; implantables that amplify intelligence or memory; and devices, AI generators, or algorithms for emotional augmentation. It allows scholars and professionals to understand the impact of these technologies, improve digital and AI literacy, and practice new methods for their design and adoption.

Book Description

This book departs from the assumption that Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems will provide a maximum advantage by replacing human cognitive processing. Instead, this book subscribes to the assumption that AI systems will provide a maximal advantage when the system is specifically designed to augment human intelligence. It provides methods for designing effective systems that include one or more humans and one or more AI entities and uses the approach that assumes automation does not replace human activity but fundamentally changes the structure of human work when AI is added to existing systems. Integrating Artificial and Human Intelligence through Agent Oriented Systems Design discusses the potential impact of AI on human work and life and explores why teamwork is necessary today for complex work environments. The book explains the processes and methods humans employ to effectively team with one another and presents the elements of artificial agents that permit them to function as team members in joint human and artificial teams. It discusses design goals and illustrates how the methods that have been used to model the complex interactions among human and artificial agents can be expanded to enable the design of interaction between them to make possible the attainment of the shared goals. Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools that provide logical designs of human–agent teams, the AI within these teams, training to be deployed for human and artificial agent team members, and the interfaces between human and artificial agent team members are all covered. MBSE files containing profiles and examples for building MBSE models used in the design approach are featured on the author’s website (https://lodesterresci.com/hat). This book is an ideal read for students, professors, engineers, and project managers associated with designing and developing AI systems or systems that seek to incorporate AI.

Book Description

The remarkable progress in algorithms for machine and deep learning have opened the doors to new opportunities, and some dark possibilities. However, a bright future awaits those who build on their working methods by including HCAI strategies of design and testing. As many technology companies and thought leaders have argued, the goal is not to replace people, but to empower them by making design choices that give humans control over technology. In Human-Centered AI, Professor Ben Shneiderman offers an optimistic realist's guide to how artificial intelligence can be used to augment and enhance humans' lives. This project bridges the gap between ethical considerations and practical realities to offer a road map for successful, reliable systems. Digital cameras, communications services, and navigation apps are just the beginning. Shneiderman shows how future applications will support health and wellness, improve education, accelerate business, and connect people in reliable, safe, and trustworthy ways that respect human values, rights, justice, and dignity.

Book Description

How AI will challenge our ideas about personhood. Chatbots like ChatGPT have challenged human exceptionalism: we are no longer the only beings capable of generating language and ideas fluently. But is ChatGPT conscious? Or is it merely engaging in sophisticated mimicry? And what happens in the future if the claims to consciousness are more credible? In The Line, James Boyle explores what these changes might do to our concept of personhood, to “the line” we believe separates our species from the rest of the world but that also separates “persons” with legal rights from objects. The personhood wars—over the rights of corporations and animals, over the question of when life begins and ends—have always been contentious. We’ve even denied the personhood of members of our own species. How will those old fights affect the new ones, and vice versa? Boyle pursues these questions across a dizzying array of fields. He discusses moral philosophy and science fiction, transgenic species, nonhuman animals, the surprising history of corporate personality, and AI itself. Engaging with empathy and anthropomorphism, courtroom battles on behalf of chimps, and doom-laden projections about the threat of AI, The Line offers fascinating and thoughtful answers to questions about our future that will arrive sooner than we think.

Book Description

Duh! 1 Second rule speaks of those who are the extremists and have the insatiable hunger to succeed but fail to do so due to many external or other reasons. Duh! 1 second rule gives these people a second in advance to stay put and plan ahead of acting out. This 1 second rule will enable you to reach out and get that you want from your lives to win back the time from all those who laughed or mocked you. This 1 second is the massive edge that you will gain over all others who just live 24 hours of each day that is 86400 seconds whereas you get to live close to 86401 seconds. The one second extra every time you use the rule properly. Ready to dive into this mystery or this rule. Let’s get right in with the rule and then look at some superheroes who have mastered this rule and are at a very different level now. We will then be also looking at some of the necessary rules that we will need to follow to become a master at this. These rules are made to help us master this quickly and get our desired results at the earliest. These rules are also the same ones which are taught during the sessions which are there on Project Management or Agile Software development cycle. They are also a part of the Scrum training, the PMP training and also the Six Sigma training. These fundamentals have not changed and will continue to product superheroes even in the future.
