    I co-author Chapter 2 with my very
    first Doctoral mentee, and the Chief Refractive Thinker, Dr. Cheryl Lentz: Synergy
    of Human +Artificial Intelligence: Delphi and the genius of crowds.
    Congrats
    on your successes (& failures) Dr. Cheryl!

    Dr Cheryl and I promoted the
    concept of “Regenerative Dynamic AI” where we provide prompts for readers to
    regenerate key components of our book with the best available GenAI at that
    future time. AI is changing at light speed, so readers can expect to have far
    better results than we did when they regeneration in a month or a year.
    Additionally, we wanted to instruct GenAI engines to provide links to dynamic
    sources, like statistical databases and Wikipedia where information is
    continually updated. And, of course, how do humans make the best use of
    artificial intelligence and real-time research using Delphi. Many results from
    the chapter with four GenAI engines has been spun off to DelphiPlan.com (aka
    ScenarioPlans.com). Issues of intellectual property, copyright,
    teacher-student-plagiarism are all addressed in the Synergy of Human +
    Artificial Intelligence
    .

    * I also
    have another book out today! *

    Rapid Planning with Regenerative
    AI
    . This Regenerative Dynamic AI approach to research and planning became
    the generative idea behind two AI-assisted workbooks related to Rapid Planning
    in my Perpetual Innovation™ series. One day in May I created most of the zero
    (0th) edition, Perpetual Innovation™: Rapid
    Strategic Planning and Regenerative AI
    . With formatting and
    updates, the 1st edition is now updated in paperback and released in
    eBook. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D85GMW7F
     ($2.99)

    With GenAI it is now possible to do
    Rapid Strategic Planning in a fraction of the time compared to olde workshop
    methods. Instead of 3 or 4 planning sessions, I believe it is now possible to
    condense and compress the planning process into 1 rather-intense session. But,
    it does require changing the way we work, the way we think, and the way we
    plan. The Workshop-Workbook is a follow-on companion to the Rapid Strategic
    Planning and Regenerative AI
    workbook focusing on the strategic planning
    workshop for an organization. The main goal for this planning effort is to
    complete a SWOT analysis including key potential strategies/initiatives. The
    workshop workbook provides examples for several types of local organizations: a
    local construction-related business, a charity, a chamber of commerce, a
    regional Economic Development Commission, and a local chapter of a service
    organization.  Expect the Workshop-Workbook to be release in a few days in
    paperback and Kindle ebook.

    These Regenerative AI books will be
    a great addition to the Perpetual Innovation™ line of books starting with
    intellectual property and now moving into Nonprofit: Nonprofit Planning &
    Impactful Donor giving (2022); and Club Management (2023).

    once again offer a special rate of $1.99!  Please buy a copy and share

    will reach one or more #Best-Seller lists for the printed copies to promote
    (released in a week or two).

    Thank you for joining us on our

  • Future of IP + AI? Regenerative AI

    These are the GenAI
    prompts used to gather information about intellectual property (IP) and the
    world of artificial intelligence (AI), i.e., IP+AI. 
    This is part of our Regenerative AI project; recreate as needed,
    when needed, with the GenAI engines available to you at that time. Select
    results from various Generative AI engines (ChatGPT 4.0, Gemini, Claude,
    Copilot).  Look at writing and analysis
    of Human + Artificial Intelligence by Hall and (Hall & Lentz, 2024) over at
    ScenarioPlans.com (alias to DelphiPlan.com).

    This Regenerative AI article, The Future of IP with AI, is reproduced from ScenarioPlans.com (alias DelphiPlan.com) and adapted with permission.  The link to the PDF of the results is there.

    You the
    reader/user can recreate the prompts as needed, when needed, with the GenAI
    engines available to you at that time. Note that a couple prompts are included
    with multiple GenAI engines for comparison. 

    Future of IP with
    AI using GenAI?

    Q: Who owns the copyright
    when something is co-created by human + AI? When something is almost completely
    AI created? When something is totally AI created?

    Q: What about patents and
    inventions? Who is the inventor when something is co-invented by human + AI,
    when something is almost completely AI, when something is totally AI invented?

    Q: . . . and what about
    ownership of the intellectual property?

    Q: How does AI impact
    infringement?

    Q: Are
    trademarks in jeopardy from AI? What steps should be taken to protect TMs?

    Q: Write an article on
    intellectual property in the age of AI, include all the topics in the chat as
    well as any others that are important. Give one or more reliable sources for
    each section including links Wikipedia articles where appropriate (formatted APA
    style and a reference page)

    The graphic image was created using the last prompt by Hall
    (2024, May) and produced using DALL-E.

  • Big winners of Renewable Energy: IP and Manufacturing

    Renewable Energy Patents in 2019

    As you look at the companies
    that are winners in Renewable Energy (RE) you have distinct winners (and
    losers, especially in the fossil fuel world). But there are entire countries
    that stand to win as well. Several countries have become exporters of energy,
    for example, when they produce more regional energy than they can use. I like
    the image set related to 25 areas/countries that are winners in Renewable
    Energy (at
    LoveMoney.com,
    The world’s greenest nations that are reaping the rewards
    ). Here’s Love/Money’s
    take on China, both in terms of the technology (Intellectual Property) and the
    manufacturing/exporting:

    Of all patents for renewable energy issued globally, as of 2016 China
    has 29%. That’s more than 150,000 patents, which underlines the focus of
    China’s investment in the industry. So it’s not a shock that the country
    has been dubbed a “renewable energy superpower” in a recent report issued
    by the Global Commission on the Geopolitics of Energy Transformation. The
    report argued that, as renewables come to fossil fuels globally, new energy
    leaders will emerge
    .
    The US had only 100,000
    patents (vs 150,000 for China) and Europe had 75,000 in renewables according to
    the Forbesanalysis in Jan 2019.  Overall,
    patents in renewables has made impressive progress, even though RE patents are
    only 1% of all patents (and other high-tech categories like computers are about
    6%). Check out the great article at the World Intellectual Property
    Organization (WIPO) on RenewableEnergy patents by James Nurton. More than half of the RE patents through
    the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) are in solar. Fuel Cell technology has
    consistently exceeded Wind in terms of patents. Fuel Cell (using hydrogen) is
    important because it can function as battery, battery backup, stationary power
    and portable power. Geothermal is trivial are of RE patent activity. When the
    RE “international” patents (PCTs) are registered at the national level the
    first three countries are: Japan, USA, and Germany.
    On the
    manufacturing/exporting side, China has been a huge producer of the world’s
    renewables (solar, wind and more). Here’s how LoveMoneysummarized Chinese production of RE:
     China
    is currently the world’s largest exporter of solar panels, wind turbines,
    batteries and electric vehicles. The country is well-suited to wind power
    production, and it has an estimated potential capacity of 2,380 gigawatts.
    What’s more, many Chinese companies are investing in renewables
    .”
    Keep in mind that many things sustainable are lower tech,
    not higher tech. Much, if not most of sustainable solutions does not require
    break-through solutions. Using less energy can be very low tech (turning the
    lights out when out). Driving less (by telework) can be no tech. But in the cases
    where leading tech can be a major competitive advantage, he owners of IP will
    win.
    Look also at GlobalTrends in Renewable Energy Investment in 2019 by UN Environment Program and
    Bloomberg. Where is RE coming from? The investment from 2010 through 2019 has
    been $2.6T with 52% in Solar and $41% in Wind.
    And the final question: how do we get to 100% renewable
    energy in a reasonably short period of time?
