Will artificial intelligence (AI) create an environment where design thinking skills are more valuable than data science skills? Will AI alter how we define human intelligence? Creativity is the application of imagination plus exploration with a strong tolerance to learn through failure. Innovation and creativity are the human ability and willingness to ask provocative questions (like Tom Hanks in the movie Big); embrace diverse ideas and perspectives; blend these different ideas into a new perspective (frame); and explore, test, fail, and learn to apply the new blended perspective to real-world challenges. No, that definition doesn't exactly fit into our ACT, SAT, GMAT tests of intelligence, and that is exactly the point!

Will artificial intelligence (AI) create an environment where design thinking skills are more valuable than data science skills? Will AI alter how we define human intelligence? That sounds like questions one might expect from an episode of Rod Serling's TV series Twilight Zone. Instead of AI replacing humans, will AI actually make humans more human? Will characteristics such as empathy, compassion, and collaboration actually become the future high-value skills that are cherished by leading organizations?

Will Artificial Intelligence (AI) create an environment where design thinking skills are more valuable than data science skills? Will AI alter how we define human intelligence? Will AI actually force humans to become more human? Okay, sounds questions one might expect from an episode of Rod Serling's TV series "Twilight Zone" (which I preferred over the meaningless college football bowl games on New Year's Day). Instead of AI replacing humans, will AI actually make humans more human, and the very human characteristics such as empathy, compassion and collaboration actually become the future high-value skills that are cherished by leading organizations.
