Human-AI Collaboration: Augmenting the Innovator for Sustainable Outcomes

Abstract:

Traditional innovation models often fail to balance high performance with urgent sustainability mandates. This talk positions Intelligent Systems as collaborative partners for product development teams seeking radical, sustainable innovation. The talk will address the organizational shift required, asking: How can human-AI collaboration achieve both high performance and planetary health?

The talk will explore using AI as a Sustainability Coach for real-time design optimization, leveraging Generative AI to democratize innovation and reduce waste, and defining The New Skillset for designers, data scientists, and ethicists. Attendees will gain a practical framework for building teams that leverage AI for profoundly sustainable product outcomes.
