In a previous blog, we advocate the fusion of Artificial Intelligence with Artificial Intuition. Combining Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Artificial Intuition (AIu) could create systems that leverage the strengths of both approaches, addressing many limitations of current AI technologies. Here are the potential advantages of such a hybrid system:
1. Enhanced Decision-Making in Ambiguous Scenarios
- AI Strength: Excels at processing structured data, identifying patterns, and optimizing decisions based on historical data.
- AIu Strength: Handles ambiguity, incomplete information, and novel situations by mimicking human-like “gut feeling.” AIu can provide answers in the presence of lack of any previous knowledge, examples, training, etc.
- Combined Advantage:
- Systems could make data-driven decisions and intuitive leaps in uncertain environments (e.g., crisis management, medical diagnoses with incomplete data, anticipation of emerging anomalies that have never been experienced before).
2. Improved Adaptability to Unseen Problems
- AI Limitation: Struggles with tasks outside its training data. If the context changes, AI needs to be re-trained.
- AIu Contribution: Intuition allows for extrapolation from sparse or unrelated data.
- Example:
- A hybrid system could adapt to a never-before-seen cybersecurity threat by combining AI’s pattern recognition with AIu’s anomaly-detection capability.
3. Human-Like Reasoning with Machine Speed
- AI: Processes vast datasets quickly but lacks contextual understanding.
- AIu: Adds contextual awareness and “common sense.”
- Outcome:
- Faster, more human-like decisions in fields like battle management, autonomous driving (e.g., navigating unpredictable road conditions), cybersecurity, complex plant monitoring.
4. Balancing Creativity and Precision
- AI: Generates ideas or content based on existing data (e.g., GPT-4 writing essays).
- AIu: Introduces novel, unconventional solutions by “connecting the dots” in unexpected ways. Moreover, AIu can identify the most likely scenario, or the worst case scenarios.
- Application:
- Innovating in R&D (e.g., drug discovery) by merging AI’s data analysis with AIu’s creative hypothesis generation and identification of priorities.
5. Better Risk Management in Dynamic Environments
- AI Limitation: Relies on historical data, which may not predict “black swan” events. AI can only return what has been hard-wired into it in the realm of the training sets.
- AIu Strength: Anticipates risks by sensing emerging patterns or anomalies, such as increasing complexity and explaining the underlying causes.
- Example:
- Financial trading systems that combine AI’s algorithmic trading with AIu’s intuition about market sentiment shifts.
6. Bridging the “Explainability Gap”
- AI Problem: Many AI models (e.g., deep learning) are “black boxes” with unclear decision-making processes.
- AIu Role: AIu provides quantitative explanations for the answers it provides. Complexity Profiling is a technique adopted by AIu to provide full explanability.
- Benefit:
- More transparent AI systems in critical fields like healthcare or cybersecurity.
Challenges to Integration
- Technical Complexity: Merging data-driven and intuitive systems requires new architectures (e.g., hybrid neural-symbolic constructs). Remember, AI runs from a model, while AIu is model-free-
- Ethical Risks: Over-reliance on “intuitive” systems could lead to unaccountable decisions.
- Validation: Measuring intuition’s accuracy is inherently subjective. However, in highly complex scenarios, relevance is more important than precision. Besides, the Principle of Incompatibility naturally limits the amount of precision or accuracy as complexity increases.
Conclusion
The fusion of AI and AIu could create systems that are not only smarter but also more adaptable, creative, and context-aware. While challenges remain, this hybrid approach might unlock breakthroughs in fields requiring both precision and human-like judgment—such as healthcare, disaster response, and ethical AI design. The key will be balancing computational rigor with intuitive reasoning while ensuring transparency and accountability. Thanks to Artificial Intuition, Artificial Intelligence will become less artificial and more intelligent.

Artificial Intuition 
AIu as powered by Ontonix is the now and the future as it deals with unknown unknowns which is fast and increasingly becoming the reality of our world especially in decision-making, strategy development, implementation and the popular risk management. This is performative rather than representational. Awesome. Thank you my prof.
