Classification of Challenges and Potential of AI Application in Co-Creation and Evaluation of Science Fiction Prototypes

Abstract

There has been a recent increase in usage of Science Fiction Prototyping (SFP) for new business development and corporate vision development within organizations. This approach involves creating, sharing, and discussing science fiction works to co-create visions of the future. In SFP, there has been experiments with the use of AI in workshops. However, the methodology and challenges of SFP itself is not yet fully organized, and there is a lack of accumulated knowledge on when AI integration is desirable. Furthermore, there is a demand for the use of AI in evaluating science fiction works. This study outline opportunities and challenges of using AI in the field of SFP, from various perspectives including business administration, psychology, linguistics, and behavioral science. We organized such opportunities and challenges according to the three phases of the SFP and suggests that there is potential for further collaboration between SFP practitioners and AI researchers.
