Unleashing Creativity with AI: A Deep Dive into Supermind


Ideator

Introduction

Creativity is one of the most valuable skills in the modern world, as it


enables us to generate novel and useful solutions to complex problems.
However, creativity is also a challenging and elusive process that often
requires a lot of time, effort, and inspiration. How can we enhance our
creative potential and overcome the barriers that hinder our imagination?

This is the question that motivated the development of Supermind


Ideator, a generative AI system that aims to support human creativity in
problem-solving tasks. Supermind Ideator was developed by a team of
researchers from the Center for Collective Intelligence Massachusetts
Institute of Technology USA and the School of Collective Intelligence
Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, Morocco. The primary goal behind
the development of Supermind Ideator was to leverage generative AI
technologies to stimulate creative ideas and support creative
problem-solving. The system leverages the power of natural language

processing and deep learning to generate diverse and relevant ideas for
any given problem statement. The system also provides feedback and
guidance to help users refine and evaluate their ideas.

What is a Supermind Ideator?

Supermind Ideator is an AI-assisted tool designed to generate solutions


to a wide range of problems. It uses a large language model (GPT 3.5)
and adds prompting, fine-tuning, and a user interface specifically
designed to help people use creative problem-solving techniques.

Key Features of Supermind Ideator

Supermind Ideator has several key features that make it a unique and
powerful tool for creative problem-solving. Some of these features are:

● Problem Statement Input: Users can input a problem statement,


which should be short (10-30 words), clear, and specific.
● Problem Exploration: The Ideator generates ideas that help
users reflect on their problem, aiding in better understanding their
goals and refining their statement.
● Solution Exploration: The Ideator shares several ideas,
especially those that harness collective intelligence and
Superminds, to explore potential solutions.
● Creativity Enhancement: The Ideator helps users explore
possibilities they might not have considered, inviting them to think
and suspend judgment.
● Domain-agnostic: Supermind Ideator can generate ideas for any
problem domain, such as education, health, environment,
entertainment, and more. The system can also adapt to the user’s
preferences and interests by allowing them to customize the
problem statement and the keywords.

Capabilities/Use Case of Supermind Ideator

The Supermind Ideator can be used to generate solutions to a variety of


problems. For instance, it can help users think innovatively about a new
product launch, redeploy miners whose jobs are going away as their
mines close, find creative ways to choose an employee benefit plan, or
identify ways to reduce freshwater consumption in a community. Further
it can support human creativity in problem-solving tasks across different
domains and contexts. Some of the possible use cases are:

● Social innovation: It can help users generate ideas for solving


social problems, such as poverty, inequality, discrimination,
violence, and more. The system can also help users identify the
root causes, the stakeholders, the potential impacts, and the
ethical implications of the problem and the solutions.
● Business innovation: It can help users generate ideas for
creating new products, services, markets, or business models, as
well as for improving existing ones. The system can also help
users assess the customer needs, the competitive advantages, the
revenue streams, and the risks of the problem and the solutions.
● Personal innovation: It can help users generate ideas for
achieving their personal goals, such as learning new skills,
pursuing new hobbies, improving their health, or finding their
passion. The system can also help users evaluate their strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, as well as to plan their
actions and track their progress.

How does Supermind Ideator work?

The Supermind Ideator uses a large language model (GPT 3.5) and
adds prompting, fine-tuning, and a user interface specifically designed to
help people use creative problem-solving techniques. It uses a set of
conceptual techniques that humans can use to trigger creative ideas. By

sequencing these techniques in different orders and combinations, users


can explore many different ideas for a given problem.

The Supermind Ideator system is composed of multiple layers that work


together to provide structure and guidance to an otherwise open-ended
problem. These layers include the User Interface, the API, and the Large
Language Model (LLM). Please refer below figure for a visual
representation of the layers of the Supermind Ideator System.

The User Interface is built on a React framework and is designed to be


user-friendly. The API (Application Programming Interface) separates the
client-side user interface logic from server-side processing logic, making
it easier to maintain and extend the system. This API-based approach
could also be valuable for others who might want to build upon or extend
the methodology beyond the initial web interface.

The LLM being used is a fine-tuned version of GPT. The fine-tuning


process involved curating approximately 1600 examples of real-world
organizational practices that solved problems using various innovative
approaches. These examples were organized with input labels that
connected the problem and case study with an associated Cognify or
Groupify move.

This fine-tuned model is less constrained than the zero-shot and


few-shot moves. While these earlier moves answer a question or

problem with another question or idea based on the base GPT model
and prompting, the fine-tuned approach changes the GPT prediction
model so that output more tightly reflects the input training data.

As the training data was a corpus of case studies, the fine-tuned model
produces output more akin to those case studies. This produces an
interesting challenge and opportunity as the GPT system tends to
produce fictional content in a coherent and sensible manner, reading as
if it is stating facts.

How to Access and Use a Supermind Ideator?

The Supermind Ideator is available online at their websites. Currently the


user has to fill their form that appears once click on button 'Join Ideator
Waitlist' available on their website. Users can input a problem statement
and then explore the problem and potential solutions using the tool. It is
recommended to use it after generating some ideas of your own, as a
complement to your imagination.

Performance Evaluation

The Supermind Ideator was evaluated through a formative study


involving 40 participants, including professional consultants, designers,
and others working in organizational innovation practices across various
industries. The study was conducted remotely, with each session lasting
about 45 minutes on average.

Participants generally responded positively to the application, expressing


excitement at its potential to aid innovation. They found the tool
invaluable for exploring multiple dimensions of a problem at the inception
of a project, and appreciated how it helped them think broadly and
systematically about the problem space. Participants also noted that the
Supermind Ideator helped them come up to speed much faster when
dealing with client problems in unfamiliar domains.

One participant highlighted the tool’s ability to quickly generate results


that would typically require a day-long workshop to achieve. However,
some participants also pointed out areas for improvement, suggesting
that the tool could be more powerful if it could explore parts of the
problems farther away from the initial focus.

Future Work

The Supermind Ideator shows promising potential in aiding creative


problem-solving. However, to fully realize this potential, further work is
needed. This includes comprehensive, quantitative evaluations of the
user experience and the speed and quality of the ideas generated by the
system. There are also at least three short-term paths forward to
improve the Ideator.

Conclusion

The Supermind Ideator marks a significant milestone in the journey of


artificial intelligence. By leveraging a large language model, it stimulates
creative problem-solving, bridging the gap between AI and human
creativity. It’s not just a tool, but a testament to the potential of AI in
augmenting human abilities, rather than replacing them. As we continue
to refine and expand its capabilities, the Supermind Ideator promises to
be a valuable asset in our quest for innovation and problem-solving in
the AI era.
