Scenario prompts are a way to develop responses to trends and developments and train your organisation’s collective change muscle, making you more profitable, resilient, and adaptable. If you want to talk about scenario prompts for you and your organisation, you can book a free appointment here.
Scenario prompts 25 July 2024
Today’s prompts are the world of the future, conscious AI, self-generation of skin and bone, biomimetic vision, exponential organisations, designer bacteria, motor doping and TRIZ, genetically engineering flies, and an opportunity to pre-order my book about books about AI.
Exponential should be your playbook.

What’s next after AI?
Study finds majority of people attribute consciousness to ChatGPT
The finding highlights a significant gap between public intuition and expert opinion, since most neuroscientists and consciousness researchers consider it highly unlikely that language models currently possess consciousness.
Silkworms and shrimp may help regenerate damaged skin and bone

A book about books about AI
https://www.ronimmink.com/product/a-book-about-books-about-ai/
So far, taking the perspective from 22 books/authors covering intelligence (there are many forms), work, synthetic biology, transhumanism, economics, spiritualism, digital transformation, data, etc. When you go through the books again, you start to wonder if we are asking the right questions. Pre-order to stay in the loop.
