Are computers going to make human inventors obsolete?
Not if inventors learn how to leverage artificial invention technology to boost their inventive skills, just as yesterday’s inventors learned how to use slide-rules, calculators, and eventually CAD software to automatically perform increasingly high-level aspects of the inventive process for them. Inventors who fail to update their skills risk being replaced by software that can not only invent more quickly and inexpensively than human inventors, but which often blows past the blindspots and biases that inhibit human inventors from pursuing fruitful but unconventional design possibilities.
