No longer limited to the stuff of science fiction, Crow and Gonick's discussion focused on creating the future, now. Gonick reflected on how the innovation mindset, advocated by resident Crow, is key to the university’s remaining at the forefront of innovation.
“It’s not about an individual thing, it is about this notion of constantly working and striving to innovate in all things,” Crow responded.
The discussion continued with areas of impact and innovation that ASU leads — now and into the future — including initiatives like ASU’s Dreamscape Learn and ASU Health.
Touching on the integration of technology, innovation and artificial intelligence in our daily lives, Crow emphasizes the need for continuing innovation to enhance human potential:
"Innovation must be a constant mindset. We believe in harnessing the incredible potential within each human using social, organizational and technological innovation to maximize their capabilities,” he said.
Crow and Lev are featured in the finale episode titled “Uncharted horizons: Leading the way in innovation,” now available for streaming on the website and YouTube.
