SUMMARY:Applying HI × AI to Research and Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Visiting researchers and faculty from BML Munjal University in India will participate in an immersive AMPLIFIED! workshop at The Basement at UC San Diego\, focused on applying Human Insights (HI) × Artificial Intelligence (AI) to research and innovation. \nParticipants will work through two applications of the HI × AI Infinity Loop. First\, they will use HI × AI to investigate a challenge more deeply\, combining their subject-matter expertise\, experience\, and judgment with AI-supported research and analysis. They will then apply the same process to improve how the problem is framed\, developing a clearer and more useful foundation for subsequent research\, innovation\, or solution development. \nThe workshop will emphasize AI as a collaborator that expands and challenges human thinking rather than replacing it. Participants will also consider how the approach can be applied within their own research practice and adapted for teaching\, mentoring\, and student learning. \nHosted at The Basement at UC San Diego\, the session will provide an opportunity for international academic exchange around emerging approaches to AI\, research\, innovation\, and human-centered problem-solving.

SUMMARY:Identifying and Framing Problems with HI × AI
DESCRIPTION:As part of the continuing partnership between Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) and UC San Diego\, this two-hour AMPLIFIED! workshop will give visiting undergraduate students\, graduate students\, and faculty an opportunity to explore how Human Insights (HI) × Artificial Intelligence (AI) can strengthen problem investigation\, framing\, and innovation practice. \nParticipants will work through two applications of the HI × AI Infinity Loop: first to investigate and better understand a problem\, then to frame a clear\, research-informed problem statement. The workshop will combine human observation\, experience\, judgment\, and context with AI-supported research\, analysis\, and exploration. \nThe session will also explore how participants can apply the approach within their own academic and professional work\, and how faculty may adapt the methodology for teaching and student learning. In doing so\, the workshop will support the broader UNAM–UC San Diego partnership through shared learning\, academic exchange\, and collaboration around AI\, innovation\, and human-centered problem-solving.

SUMMARY:Driving Enterprise Transformation Through Applied AI
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence is changing how organizations operate—but enterprise transformation depends on more than technology. \nPresented for AAA managers\, this session explores how leaders can apply AI in ways that strengthen human judgment\, improve work\, and create measurable organizational value. Participants will examine the role of AI in enterprise transformation\, consider where adoption succeeds or breaks down\, and experience the HI × AI Loop as a practical way to keep people actively directing the work. \nThe session connects AAA’s long history of innovation with the next generation of applied AI—helping managers move beyond tool adoption toward better decisions\, stronger capability\, and meaningful changes in how work gets done. \nParticipants will leave with a clearer understanding of: \n\nwhy AI matters to enterprise transformation\,\nwhere human judgment remains essential\,\nhow HI × AI can improve real work\,\nand what leaders can do next to support responsible\, effective adoption.

SUMMARY:AMPLIFIED! at Work: Designing Better with HI × AI
DESCRIPTION:AI can generate more\, faster—but amplification requires more than speed. \nIn this hands-on San Diego Design Week workshop\, participants will learn how to use the HI × AI Loop to strengthen creative and strategic work without surrendering human judgment. Working through a shared digital-design challenge\, participants will establish a human baseline\, use AI to expand perspectives and possibilities\, evaluate what is useful or misleading\, and direct a second round of refinement. \nThe session makes the difference between delegating work to AI and designing with AI visible through a before-and-after comparison. \nParticipants will leave with a practical\, repeatable method they can apply to research\, problem framing\, product thinking\, communication\, and client work. \nBring a laptop or mobile device with access to a generative AI tool.

SUMMARY:AMPLIFIED! Design Thinking with HI × AI
DESCRIPTION:As part of a custom international education program through the UC San Diego English Language Institute (ELI)\, Division of Extended Studies\, International Programs\, students from Kobe Ryukoku High School in Japan will participate in an immersive STEM Innovation & Entrepreneurism experience at UC San Diego. \nStudents will learn the AMPLIFIED! methodology and apply the HI × AI Infinity Loop to real challenges. They will use Human Insights to observe\, question\, interpret\, and make judgments\, then work with Artificial Intelligence to expand research\, challenge assumptions\, explore possibilities\, and develop ideas. \nThe experience will move students from identifying and framing meaningful problems into Design Thinking\, where they will generate\, develop\, prototype\, and communicate potential solutions. The program will emphasize active learning\, creative confidence\, and the responsible use of AI as a tool for amplifying—not replacing—human thinking. \nThe session will also give students an opportunity to experience how creativity\, innovation\, entrepreneurship\, and AI can work together in a university learning environment\, while supporting UC San Diego’s broader international education mission and its engagement with students from Japan.

SUMMARY:AMPLIFIED! AI-Powered Problem Statements
DESCRIPTION:Most organizations waste energy solving the wrong problem. In this hands-on workshop\, innovation expert Kevin Popović\, The Idea Guy®\, introduces AMPLIFIED!™ — AI-Powered Problem Statements\, a fast\, effective process for reframing challenges into actionable problem statements. \nParticipants will work directly with the AMPLIFIED! Worksheet\, blending Human Intelligence (HI) and Generative AI (ChatGPT) to: \n• Document a real challenge they face.\n• Apply the “How Might We” model to draft problem statements.\n• Use AI to refine for clarity\, empathy\, and impact. \nIn just 45 minutes\, you’ll walk away with a framework you can apply immediately to civic design\, social impact\, or organizational challenges. This session aligns with Design for Impact by showing how structured problem framing not only looks good on paper but drives purposeful\, human-centered change in the real world.
