Summary

Recent AI developments are changing how industries are pursuing innovation across three primary dimensions. 

First, AI now aids in the initial stages of innovation, such as idea generation and venture launching, by making processes like market research and prototyping more efficient and less expensive. Second, in larger organizations, AI plays a crucial role in managing and fueling the idea pipeline, enhancing the continuous flow of innovation. Third, AI assists managers in strategic planning by helping to envision future scenarios and potential disruptions to the status quo that people might not consider otherwise.

AI has transformed the idea-generation process but is still weak when evaluating opportunities.

AI excels at generating a wide variety of ideas, including “polarizing” innovations – a feat most people would not have believed possible just a couple of years ago...
