The guidebook will be designed and built to help ISSIP leadership increase academic-industry collaborations in the AI Era. The student CEO is planning to build a company that will help increase Academic-Industry Collaboration (AICollab) in the world; specifically, the startup will create a service system innovation offering that helps academic student teams and their faculty mentors connect with industry leaders who have industry challenges. As a student CEO you are lucky to have helpers; specifically more than 6 AI Digital Workers (Generative AI platforms - OpenAI ChatGPT, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, DuckDuck Mistral, Moonshot Kimi K2 , etc.) which are available to help you and can mimic any type of entity (intelligent individual, business, university, city, state, nation) in any type of organizational, ecosystem, or global role in fact or fiction, past, present, or future. The AI Digital Workers are impressive, but imperfect. They work fast and for free but are limited to about one hour of helping per day. You typically give the daily assignment to all your AI Digital Workers, and then (because they each work so fast, but inaccurately) you compare their results, combining the best of what you see into a final daily work product or daily deliverable on your quest to create the service system innovation offering to increase AICollab. The service system innovation identify obstacles and must propose workable solutions for the industry mentor, the faculty mentor, the student team, and other service system stakeholder. For example, if the industry mentor is time constrained perhaps an AI Digital Twin of the mentor can help. The deliverables include a charter (goal and initial weekly plan), guidebook (in the form of a whitepaper with appendices with daily prompt summaries), a final presentations (slides and recording), a one page summary poster.
