ABSTRACT: The aim of the paper is to propose a new hypothesis related
to the contribution to innovation processes through human-AI symbiotes. These symbiotes
are called centaurs, referring to the world of chess. The first section provides
some speculative thoughts starting with current knowledge and observation on AI
to point to the possible implication of symbiotic learning. The second section investigates
what the consequences of the “centaur hypothesis” could be in terms of innovation
capacities and innovation processes. The third section considers an atypical field
of realization of innovations called municipal innovations so far. Finally, the conclusion addresses the limitations of
this speculative exercise.
