"There is tremendous apprehension about the potential of generative AI - technologies that can create new content such as audio, text, images, and video - to replace people in many jobs. But one of the biggest opportunities generative AI offers to business and governments is to augment human creativity and overcome the challenges of democratizing innovation." - How Generative AI Can Augment Human Creativity, Harvard Business Review, August 2023.

In August 2023, HBR wrote an article sharing the opportunities that generative AI presents to democratize creativity and innovation. We will explore the HBR article and put the proposed ideas into practice alongside 2 variations of an analog method used for divergent thinking to explore possible futures, the Thing from the Future. The Thing From The Future is an award-winning imagination game published by Situation Lab.
