AI Lab Goals & Process

Business Physics AI Lab applies physics-inspired principles, advanced AI tools, and synthetic simulations to understand, simulate, and optimize human and organizational behaviours. It combines theoretical models with data-driven approaches to solve complex business challenges, improve decision-making, enhance team collaboration, and refine operational efficiency, all while maintaining ethical and human-centred values.

Business Physics Lab Goals

  • Human Behaviour Modelling: Simulate key behaviours like motivation, collaboration, and decision-making using agent-based systems and synthetic data.
  • Organizational Optimization: Test workflows, leadership styles, and team dynamics to improve productivity and adaptability.
  • Ethical AI Integration: Ensure all AI tools and models align with transparency, fairness, and organizational values.
  • Actionable Insights: Provide data-backed strategies that enhance leadership, customer engagement, and workforce performance.

AI Simulation Process

4-Step AI Lab Process

  • 1. Simulating Applications for Physical World Business Environments
    • Creating synthetic simulations of real-world business scenarios. These simulations incorporate synthetic employees, customers, competitors, suppliers, media, and other stakeholders.
  • 2. Defining Synthetic Principles and Roles
    • Applying the 20 principles of Business Physics (e.g., Force, Momentum, Friction) and establishing specific roles for synthetic agents within the simulations.
  • 3. Selecting the AI Model and Tools
    • Choosing appropriate tools and frameworks for implementation. This may include: LLM, LQM, RAG and Platforms.
  • 4. Analysing and Optimizing Results
    • Data from the simulations are analysed to extract actionable insights.
