Preparing for Our Future
with Open Artificial Intelligence (AI):
A Service Science Perspective
12. 12
Henry Chesbrough at Berkeley sent some of us a paperā¦
Henry suggested IBM
āhelp to do it again;
you need it, others do tooā
academics and government
to establish Service Science
The biggest costs were in changing the organization.
One way to think about these changes is to treat the
Organizational costs as an investment in a new asset.
Firms make investments over time in developing anew
process, rebuilding their staff or designing a new
organizational structure, and the benefits from these
Investments are realized over a long period of time.ā

81. In Conclusion
ā¢ Hundreds of AI Challenge Leaderboards
exist and the number is growing
ā¢ Can one system be built to do them all?
See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FpdEmySsuc
82. What types of digital cognitive
systems?
ā¢ Cognitive Build: Outthink Challenge (250K people)
ā Imagine a digital cognitive system to help you do
something important in your personal or professional

ā Team to design it and advocate for it, and then
everyone votes
ā Winners: reduce waste and human suffering, screen
for health issues and safety threats, learn life skills and
make better choices, find what you are looking for,
move around more effectively, provide emotional
support, provide IT support, learn about important
public policy goals and make better choices
