We covered the approach to Divergent Thinking and User Research for finding the pain points. And then techniques to converge the thinking towards defining the problem. Problems once identified can be solved easily.”

Various aspects discussed including the gap between the Industry and the Academia, the impact of AI, how technology impacts art et al. Commenting on the impact of Technology, Vineet shared, “Technology is created in an answer to the gaps, so it is never art that is catching up, but it is technology. Art in it’s zest jumps ahead creating gaps just like the Mendeleev’s table, and it is for us, to find the technology that can meet the expectations and fill the gaps.

Commenting on AI, Vineet said, “AI is not capable of thinking ahead. It is instead a good servant who can do repetitive tasks with the accuracy unknown to man. However, it is incapable of decisions.”
