ABSTRACT

Similar to how the technologies we use have an operating system (OS) to ensure information and work flows smoothly, Godwin and Stavros suggest that each of us has a personal OS that impacts the information we process from the world around us and our subsequent actions. Using Appreciative Inquiry principles as the source code for an AI-based personal operating system (the aiOS) and the AI 5D cycle as one of the most popular applications of the aiOS, they conclude with an invitation to the global AI community to submit their favorite aiOS applications for future featuring on the AI Commons.
