Introducing The GenAI Prism Infographic: A Framework For Collaborating With Generative AI
JESS3 design studio and Brian Solis, digital futurist and best-selling author, announced the release of the GenAI Prism v1.0 infographic along with Conor Grennan, leading generative AI expert and Dean of Students/Head of GenerativeAI at NYU Stern School of Business.
Jeremiah Owyang, Venture Capital Investor at Blitzscaling Ventures, and my friend and former colleague, shared an observation that there are more than 10,000 generative AI projects in play right now. As the famous saying from the movie JAWS goes, “we’re going to need a bigger infographic.”
The effort took over six months to complete and included a panel of experts to help us assess the maturity of each category and company for impact, adoption, and potential. It’s safe to say that we consider this version 1.0 and there will be many iterations over time. Please see below for download links.
About
The GenAI Prism organizes the landscape of generative AI companies that automate and augment how people create and work in their personal and professional lives.
More than a visualization of the most popular generative AI logos, the GenAI Prism offers a mental model to mindfully and intentionally approach prompts toward more intentional outcomes and insights.
The GenAI Prism is a reference guide that to prompt human creativity and imagination to collaborate with AI toward more thoughtful, effective, and extraordinary outcomes.
GenAI isn’t here to do the work of people or replace them, but instead it serves as a creative partner to augment human output. It enhances, accelerates, and boosts the work we do today while also allowing us to perform and create outputs we couldn’t do before.
Design
The design of the GenAI Prism is intended to ‘refract’ the GenAI ‘light’ to slow the speed of a fast-moving genre. Doing so allows viewers to reflect on the spectrum and understand the significance of each wavelength.
As you endeavor to bring your vision to light, consider the potential outcome you’d like to achieve.
1) Are you solving a problem?
2) Are you exploring new horizons to create something net new?
3) Are you optimizing or automating an existing process or product or service or works?
4) Are you augmenting something to perform exponentially?
5) Are you experimenting?
The GenAI Prism provides a visual workflow to put generative AI to work. It’s designed to future-proof human ingenuity by helping users formulate exponential outputs before the prompt. With practice, formulated prompts will unlock capacities not previously attainable to deliver exponential outcomes unimaginable just last year.
William H. White wrote in 1950 that the great enemy of communication is the illusion of it. GenAI is new. It’s evolving. It’s incredible in terms of its potential, but also confusing, and even daunting. But the path to the future is forged by those who explore new horizons and live to tell. Our vision, and our investments into outcomes, and how we learn and communicate those learnings, will help us, and those around us, grow.

It’s been said that AI won’t take jobs, but those who use AI will have a strong advantage over those who don’t. Studies already show that with vision, creativity, and a commitment to experimentation, work not only accelerates, but also elevates the quality of output. In one such study, Wharton Professor Ethan Mollick in partnership with social scientists at Boston Consulting Group found that consultants who used AI finished 12.2% more tasks on average, completed tasks 25.1% more quickly, and produced 40% higher quality results.
The ultimate goal with generative AI is to enhance or more so, augment, the creative power of human potential, incorporating this technology to create and perform more thoughtful, effective, and extraordinary projects.
Composer, musician, and avant garde artist Laurie Anderson once said, “If you think technology will solve your problems, you don’t understand technology — and you don’t understand your problems.”
The same is true for GenAI.
Anyone seeking to displace people with genAI doesn’t understand their existing problems or potential opportunities.
Augmentation is the key to becoming a next-generation AI-first business.

“Do not empower your negative thoughts by giving them “legs” so they can run around your mind, creating worries, frustrations, and anxiety in your life.”
“Do not sit still; start moving now. In the beginning, you may not go in the direction you want, but as long as you are moving, you are creating alternatives and possibilities.”
“For some people, their fear to lose is greater than their desire to succeed, so they end up doing nothing and their dreams become impossible.”
“Learn to adapt. Things change, circumstances change. Adjust yourself and your efforts to what it is presented to you so you can respond accordingly. Never see change as a threat, because it can be an opportunity to learn, to grow, evolve and become a better person.”
“Criticism is just someone else’s opinion. Even people who are experts in their fields are sometimes wrong. It is up to you to choose whether to believe some of it, none of it, or all of it. What you think is what counts.”
“Take responsibility for your own happiness, do not expect people or things to bring you happiness, or you could be disappointed.”
“When you experience a negative circumstance or event, do not dwell on it. Be proactive — put your attention on what you need to do to bring the situation to a positive result.”
“It may take little time to get where you want to be, but if you pause and think for a moment, you will notice that you are no longer where you were. Do not stop—keep going.”
“Many people are so poor that the only thing they have is money. Cultivate your spiritual growth.”
“Every day, you get the opportunity to change your life. Change what you do not want. Change what makes you unhappy.”
“Erase from your vocabulary the word “someday.” Do not save things for “special occasions.” Take into account the fact that every day is special. Every day is a gift that we must appreciate and be thankful for. Wear your attractive clothes, wear your nice perfume, use your fine silverware and dishes, and drink from your expensive crystal glasses … just because. Live every day to the fullest and savor every minute of it.”
“Erase self-doubt by working to build your strengths instead of focusing on your weaknesses.”
“Cultivate an optimistic mind, use your imagination, always consider alternatives, and dare to believe that you can make possible what others think is impossible.”

It’s not the direction of your movement that matters at first; it’s the fact that you keep moving, period. You didn’t sign up for this life, but you have to live it. Creating momentum—no matter how slow you think you’re moving—opens doorways to alternatives and possibilities for you.

Logic, reason, and common sense are your best tools for synthesizing reality and understanding what to do about it. - Ray Dalio
Principles are fundamental truths that serve as the foundations for behavior that gets you what you want out of life.
Without principles we would be forced to react to all the things life throws at us individually.
Embrace the fact that you don’t know everything you need to know.
My success has more to do with knowing how to deal with *not* knowing.
Consistently operate with principles that can be clearly explained.
Decide:
1) what you want
2) what is true
3) what you should do to achieve #1 in light of #2
When I’m wrong, I change my mind.
When the facts change, I change my mind.
Wall Street Journal, Jason Zweig wondered about two quotations attributed to Keynes: “When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir” and “The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.”
In an e-mail in 2003, Keynes’ most authoritative biographer, Lord Robert Skidelsky, told investment advisor William Bernstein that he believed they were “both apocryphal.” This week I asked another renowned expert on Keynes, Donald Moggridge of the University of Toronto, if he could identify the source of either of the oft-quoted remarks. “The simple answer,” Prof. Moggridge replied by e-mail, “is there is no evidence.”
Critical thinking is clear, reasonable, reflective thinking focused on deciding what to believe or do. It means asking probing questions like “How do we know?” or “Is this true in every case or just in this instance?” It involves being skeptical and challenging assumptions rather than simply memorizing facts or blindly accepting what you hear or read.
Who are critical thinkers, and what characteristics do they have in common? Critical thinkers are usually curious and reflective people. They like to explore and probe new areas and seek knowledge, clarification, and new solutions. They ask pertinent questions, evaluate statements and arguments, and they distinguish between facts and opinion. They are also willing to examine their own beliefs, possessing a manner of humility that allows them to admit lack of knowledge or understanding when needed. They are open to changing their mind. Perhaps most of all, they actively enjoy learning, and seeking new knowledge is a lifelong pursuit.
Critical thinking is fundamentally a process of questioning information and data. You may question the information you read in a textbook, or you may question what a politician or a professor or a classmate says. You can also question a commonly-held belief or a new idea. With critical thinking, anything and everything is subject to question and examination for the purpose of logically constructing reasoned perspectives.
