Empowering Physics Discovery: TRIZ Insights with ChatGPT Guidance
Aigars Atvars, University of Latvia, Riga, Latvia
Abstract This presentation was prerecorded by the author.
TRIZ has a set of tools to solve technical problems and forecast the development of technical systems. TRIZ can be useful in physical research, helping to find novel systems or improving the current systems. The complexity of TRIZ and the lack of detailed guidelines on how and when to use specific TRIZ tools limits its broad employability. The recent emergence of Artificial intelligence (AI) tools like OpenAI ChatGPT allows the creation of a bridge from standard TRIZ tools to their application in various situations. The presentation describes the current capabilities of ChatGPT and demonstrates its application in physics research through TRIZ tools.
Tests showed that ChatGPT-4o does not have enough pre-trained information on TRIZ, although it had a very good capacity to identify contradictions in various systems. TRIZ books or publications can be uploaded in new threads or custom ChatGPTs to obtain better-trained GPTs. One could upload a specific scientific publication to start deep interaction with ChatGPT on the physical problem. Then prompts can be made about this publication – to explain nontrivial terms, find contradictions, obtain suggestions on new topics for research, and apply TRIZ tools to advance the topic. GPT-4o with Canvas allows one to start the preparation of a report or publication and update the text with AI replies to specific prompts.
A conclusion is made that ChatGPT and TRIZ can help advance physics research. However, this process still requires many iterations—learning TRIZ and topics in physics and combining all findings in a useful report. With further development of ChatGPT or other AI tools, the automated generation of TRIZ-based advice for physics research is expected to become smoother.

Generative AI for Systematic Resource Modification in Creative Problem Solving
Tanasak Pheunghua
The Inventor Development, Thailand
Abstract
This paper investigates the use of generative AI for the systematic modification of resources as part of the broader idea-generation process. By utilizing resource analysis and TRIZ-based problem-solving principles, the AI facilitates structured innovation by identifying, categorizing, and transforming various resource categories, including substance, field, time, space, information, and functional resources. The system supports diverse modification goals, such as resolving contradictions, achieving specific objectives, completing jobs to be done, or addressing other creative challenges. It begins by analyzing the existing system, defining the desired modification goal, and applying generative AI to suggest solutions based on appropriate TRIZ principles. The AI-driven modifications enhance resources by adapting their parameters or functions to meet new, optimized goals. This generative AI system accelerates the idea-generation process by providing innovative, practical solutions to real-world problems, improving efficiency and creativity. The integration of generative AI for resource modification offers significant potential across industries, fostering innovation in product development, conceptual ideation, and complex problem-solving.

Solving Inventive Problems by Primary School Students in a Digital Environment
Prof. Galina Terekhova, Kirill Terakhov
Abstract:
We have designed a digital environment for developing the inventive abilities of primary school students through educational experiments. The content of the digital laboratory includes special didactic tools based on TRIZ models for organizing inventive experiments. The proposed method of organizing the educational environment allows the expansion of the children’s experimental activity in solving inventive problems, namely, to build the skills of correct formulation of hypotheses in experimental activity, to improve the quality of practical solutions while retaining the ability to show intellectual initiative; to develop the ability to identify experimentally reliable solutions to a problem; to form a desire to use scientific terminology, to conduct a constructive dialogue in the process of joint research activities; to formulate hypotheses and conclusions during the experiment.

Abstract:
For several decades, TRIZ professionals have grappled with the limited popularity of digital tools associated with the methodology. Despite the partial successes of past and present software solutions, many argue that TRIZ is primarily a cognitive activity that suffers when confined by rigid software frameworks. Others criticize these platforms for their perceived complexity and the time required to master them. However, the overwhelming advancements in AI over the past three years have compelled us to reconsider our reservations and learn to work alongside intelligent systems.
This presentation recounts an experience that began 20 years ago with creating an assistant tool initially designed to support TRIZ expertise with basic automation and database access. Today, this assistant has evolved along with the research findings of several PhD thesis results, enhanced by artificial intelligence, and can draw on billions of real-time data points from the web. This keynote will explore this groundbreaking research tool's past, present, and future.
Biography:
Denis works at the INSA Graduate School of Science and Technology of Strasbourg, France, Department of Mechanical Engineering & Human Sciences, where he teaches Engineering of Innovation. The INSA network of engineering schools is ranked n°1 in France, providing 14% of the country's engineers annually.
He is heading an Industrial Chair named AIARD. He is conducting his research activities at the Laboratory of Engineering Sciences, Computer Science, and Imaging, known as ICube (UMR-CNR 7357), in the CSIP research team. His research fields are Inventive Design Theories & Methodologies, Creativity, Design Science, and Artificial Intelligence. He is also very active in transferring his team’s research findings to industry through partnerships and cooperation plans with enterprises like Chanel, Forvia, ArcelorMittal, Sartorius, or EDF.
He is rated a respectable I10-Index Grade of 69 at Google Scholar with 189 research publications and 2448 citations.
In the early 1990s, he and associates developed a method exploiting the foundations of TRIZ to structure inventive design approaches and make them usable in the workplace. One of his key projects involved teaching inventive design to many learners. He has contributed significantly to building next-generation methods and tools that are helpful to industries in the innovation era. He has published widely in the engineering design field and TRIZ. He has been endorsed by 84 others who are highly skilled in the /TRIZ technology.
Denis is also transferring his research findings to Tekimpact, a spinoff of INSA Strasbourg and the Univ. of Strasbourg, where he is conducting consulting activities in TRIZ + AI projects.
