TEMPERATURE: Creativity in the Age of AI Paperback – March 7, 2024

Is creativity a divine act or a synthesis? Do rules liberate or constrain? What role does chance play? In her groundbreaking new book TEMPERATURE: Creativity in the Age of AI, author Lori Mazor challenges entrenched beliefs about imagination and ingenuity.Drawing on her diverse experience across architecture, business strategy and generative AI, Mazor introduces the bold new concept of "synthetivity" creativity as a synthesis, not mythical creation.

She provides a novel framework to unleash imagination within individuals, teams, organizations, and AI systems. Read more
