Mengting Zhang (2018)

Under the radical development of machine learning and commercialisation of artificial intelligence technology, products are developed with new features that include decision-making, natural language processing or intuitive interaction. It is foreseeable that these intelligent products will reshape most aspects of human life in the near future. This research illustrates a conceptual framework that stimulates and analyses the innovative quality of intelligent products to provide insights into facilitating the innovation of intelligent products across industries and society. Empirical studies and in-depth expert interviews have been carried out. The study contributes to the current understanding of intelligent product innovation and can be beneficial for academic researchers and business practitioners. The research also shares a vision of intelligent product innovation in the future, which provides insights for policymakers to transform the industry.
