The thinking, reflective human being.

There is a lot of discussion right now about the risks of AI. There is even talk that AI could eradicate humans. Here, the idea is that it is the intelligence that rules the world, which is currently human, not because we are the strongest but the smartest.

This is where it goes wrong, AI is an expansion of our "system 1" but we humans also have a "system 2" (Khaneman etc.) What we need is to ensure that we also connect our "system 2" in our decisions.

This year's edition of the R2B Summit was a full-day eventon 4 October 2023 R2B Summit is a unique meeting place to exchange experiences and share perspectives to create new innovations and business opportunities together. The programme is aimed at those in a senior position with responsibility for innovation, research and development in a company or organisation and those who represent a research project on IVA's 100 list in 2023, .
All 79 research projects selected for the 100 list 2023 have great potential to generate benefits through, for example, industrial commercialisation. Many of these research projects had the opportunity to present during the day and one of these was us, Prefernce.

The programme began with an interview with IVA President Marcus Wallenberg and was concluded by Minister for Education Mats Persson with the speech "Utilising research for sustainable growth and Swedish competitiveness".

In between, a packed day of interesting presentations and many opportunities for contact between R2B.

A Decision-Analytic Manifesto - Ekenberg & Danielson. This is a more specialised mathematical book about the foundations of the DecideIT software. DecideIT rests on more than 20 years of advanced research which is summarised in a fairly light-weight format, although some integrals will show up halfway into the book.

IT Solutions

The Growing Gap

There is a huge amount of money spent on IT projects globally and only a thin 30% goes through as planned.

Why is it so difficult to succeed then? Most of the companies do not have good enough internal resources to control the complexity of an IT development project. It is because their domain insight is superficial, tend to catch the buzzwords and fashionable gadgets, but fail to understand how IT can trigger their development.

IT projects go through the same process of procurement like buying paper for the printers.

And due to the breathtaking pace of development of the IT sector, this gap grows exponentially.

CIRCULAR ECONOMY: PLASTIC WASTE MANAGEMENT
Chemical Solution for Base Components Reuse

Industrial innovation to retrieve chemical components of any plastic content waste by thermal degradation. Clean technology for very
difficult actions of plastic waste.
Reuse of chemical base materials leads to reducing the need of prime raw materials. Currently the mixed, unidentified, coloed, surface
treated polymer waste is typically incinerated in an expensive and not environment friendly process. Pyrolytic technology can reform separated non-utilizable packaging material- or industrial waste into valuable chemical resources and recover other valuable materials.
REDUCE: Instead of the incineration and landfill we can poduce refined mineral oil derivatives for chemical utilization on the base of non-recyclable polymer waste.
