Artificial Intelligence Innovation Assistant

Innovation management (IM) practices are a key element to engage the fast pace of technological momentum. Firms look to keep competitive advantages ultimately to achieve their strategic objectives. Consequently, enhancing and reinventing such practices is fundamental in order to exploit the disruptive capabilities of the emerging artificial intelligence (AI) era.We introduce AIIA (artificial intelligence innovation assistant), as a tool capable to implement artificial intelligence insights into some of the most widely adopted organizational IM processes. As a system of systems model, AIIA depicts a simple yet powerful proposition to integrate state of the art data processing algorithms and management practices. Unlike other current IM models AIIA embraces innovation from a holistic and cohesive perspective for enterprises and entrepreneurs who seek to incorporate AI into their regular IM activities.Despite AIIA’s novelty, future research is required to tackle numerous limitations of this model. Nevertheless, evidence shows AIIA serves as a platform to allow the automated manipulation of data during innovation management processes in a structured and flexible way. Most importantly, this model supports firms and companies as a facilitator to introduce and launch a new stage of technological innovation management capabilities.
