The New-Era of Innovation

As consequential as these statements are, the truth is nobody can predict just how profound this emerging technology of AI will be. For example, just look at Amazon no one could have foreseen what started out as an online bookstore could have grown to be one of the world's most powerful and valuable companies in the history of the earth. More specifically, how the "Amazon Effect" has grown it's supporting ecosystem comprised of manufactures, logics and even suppliers like the card board box industry -- all of which have greatly benefited from Amazon shipments. What we can be certain of is because of new emerging technology like AI, the rate of change will only increase. And the need for human intelligence, creativity and ingenuity will be even more valuable and in demand in the future. However, here in lies the paradox that AI technology is not only fueling the pace of change but will also make us more intelligent. And it is with this thesis that I not only wrote a book about AI's profound capabilities, but actually used AI to co-author the book, as an example of how AI will be our intelligent assistant moving forward. Throughout my career as a creative technologist, I have always been fascinated with this very topic; what happens when human creativity and ingenuity meet and is then amplified by technology. In the pursuit of'walking the walk' I've leveraged AI to help co-author much of the narrative. In doing so I dramatically reduced the time taken to create this book. As a metaphor for how AI is giving us superhuman powers, and for the purposes of this book, we have given AI a name: Aimé, which is derived from the French for'beloved' (bien aimé) and is also coincidentally a combination of AI me. Aimé reflects the goal of this book -- to show that AI will become your beloved co-creator and your intelligent personal assistant going forward.
