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 15 August 2024
Today’s prompts are probiotic-powered bandages, tuneable materials, quantum sensing, Bookbuzz, digital twinning, is now the right time to appoint a chief AI officer (at least read up on AI ;), AI-agents, diagnosing tongue colours, artificial molecules, and an opportunity to pre-oder my book about books about AI.
Probiotic-powered bandages generate electricity to fight infections

The rapid advance of GenAI has been bewildering. No wonder many business leaders are considering whether they’d benefit from the guidance of a strategic-level expert in the field.
AI Agents that Perform Tasks Instead of Humans are Closer than We Think
https://i-hls.com/archives/124846
A common trope in sci-fi novels is the existence of robotic assistants that help you carry out everyday tasks. According to tech services company Capgemini believe that by 2025, AI-powered agents will cooperate with each other and resolve issues in a “multi-agent AI” system.
AI predicts diseases with 98% accuracy in real-time using tongue color
https://interestingengineering.com/health/ai-model-predicts-disease-using-tongue-color
AI-powered computer model to analyze patients’ tongue colors for real-time disease diagnoses such as anemia, COVID-19, vascular and gastrointestinal issues, or asthma.
DNA Doppelgängers: Scientists Develop Artificial Molecules With Life-Like Properties
The synthesized double-helical monometallofoldamers has the potential to be applied to new switching chiral materials that output diverse chiral properties by small inputs and can be used to develop chiral sensors.
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.
