AI-Empowered Creative Problem Solving
摘要
The paper explores the possibility of augmenting AI with TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving). It traces TRIZ's development from a method based on patent analysis to a structured innovation tool that, combined with AI, like Large Language Models (LLMs), can address the challenges associated with the most recent attempts and significantly expand AI’s capability into creative problem-solving. The authors discuss how TRIZ-based software, such as Ideation TRIZSOFT®, can serve as a missing link between unstructured human creativity and AI, becoming a creative partner to AI systems by providing structured prompts and knowledge-based solutions libraries. Case studies show that using TRIZ-generated prompts with AI chatbots like ChatGPT increases the quality and novelty of solutions. The article discusses the evolutionary patterns of technology, advocating for TRIZ as a tool for Augmented Artificial Intelligence (AAI) to support human creativity and decision-making in various domains.
