How an Integration of Artificial Intelligence and Science Fiction Could Change the Premises of Strategic Thinking

Abstract

Artificial intelligence technologies will very likely induce a fundamental shift in strategic thinking.  And science fiction will provide a medium.  Science fiction will change the scope, boundaries and contents of “Big Data”   and consequently deep learning will introduce novel foundations for tomorrow’s functions and products. It will provide the creative boundaries of those functions. Science fiction’s speculative images of the future will constitute the foundation of imaginative and futuristic concepts leading to novel products and services. The outcome will be an intricate process that will blend artificial intelligence, science fiction and strategic thinking. And science fiction will provide a medium.  This paper focuses on how science fiction will work as a medium blending AI and strategic thinking.
