Luis Perez-Breva
Luis’ innovating story began making AI work where it isn’t supposed to. When we pick up a few things helping machines acquire intelligence: there’s nothing intuitive to the world we’ve built; like humans, computers struggle with mindsets borne of centuries of laborious understanding powered by pencil and paper. Kids however, go about with unrestrained spirit of inquiry and untold aptitude for frustration—curiosity and tantrums. By the time education tames us, we have formulas, recipes, coping strategies—none of which makes for a particularly intelligent computer.
The same with innovation: recipes abound that conflate innovation and what to do with one; you’re expected to recognize innovation at sight. It never happens. Innovating takes learning and doing.
Luis’ masterpiece, Innovating: A Doer’s Manifesto for Starting from a Hunch, Prototyping Problems, Scaling Up, and Learning to Be Productively Wrong (MIT Press, January 2017) is his guide. It draws from mindsets and principles from science, engineering, AI, game theory, management, economics, and behavioral science, but requires no technical knowledge. It is written so you may begin innovating with what you already have; all you need is a hunch. You can keep waiting for an earth-shattering idea, or you can start right away.
Luis’ goal is to restore that spirit of inquiry; get us talking about daring to venture into the impossible and solving real-world problems, not just “innovation.”
Today, Luis is an educator and researcher at MIT, advising organizations on AI and Innovating. Like us “scientists”, Luis is an explorer, still not knowing what comes next.
