The formula
BI = C + Ex × T²
Bold Ideas = Creative + Experience × Technology²
C
Creative
The human soul of the idea
AI generates volume. It cannot generate meaning. Creative is the part only humans bring.
Ex
Experience
The feeling left behind
Not usability. Emotional residue. The impression that stays after every interaction.
T²
Technology
The amplifier
AI squares the impact of every idea and experience. The carrier and multiplier.
