If we all believe a core benefit of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is to enable human ‘value-add’ capability, why are so few organisations or governments doing anything to foster it? Because turkeys don’t vote for Christmas. You see, what no one is talking about is the fact that human value-add is all about the redistribution of power.

At an individual level, many of us try to make changes within our lives and ourselves to lead a happier more fulfilled life. We’re trying to find purpose. So why aren’t we doing this at an organisational level?

Many organisations are trying to create a culture of innovation, but are not pausing to ask why? If we want to innovate well, we need the right culture – we need vision people, and in a big way.

Design thinking teaches us to think about human-centred need and design – that to be successful and release engaging products, they should be driven from human need. However, how often as individuals do we address our own human need and how much does this affect our ability to innovate?

At a recent Innovation Leaders conference in the US, we collectively mapped out what the future landscape might look like – and the future is very human. We are due to let tech do its thing and we’ll do ours. This means high fidelity tech, low fidelity humans… if you like.
