AI innovation protocol backtested against historical cross-industry transfers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This article presents a retrospective case study and a preregistered pilot protocol for the "Innovation Wormhole" concept, which proposes transferring proven mechanisms between industries rather than reinventing them. The case study backtests historical cross-domain transfers using the "Transfer Stack" protocol to see if its scoring logic would have correctly identified outcomes based on pre-existing information. The pilot protocol is designed to protect real-world deployments from bias, similar to clinical trials. The article details three historical transfers: the magnetron's transfer into microwave ovens (a success), the immune system's meeting with firewalls (a partial success), and the transfer of the hook and loop fastener (a failure). AI

IMPACT Proposes a structured method for evaluating and transferring AI innovations across industries, potentially accelerating development.
