In this episode, we explore how OpenAI could leverage the Innovate-Leverage-Commoditise (ILC) model to reshape the AI landscape. Based on the article "Leveraging Innovation: How OpenAI Can Transform the AI Landscape with the ILC Model" by Mark Craddock, this discussion delves into the potential for OpenAI to drive growth by adopting this strategic approach from Wardley Mapping.

The ILC model suggests a cyclical process where platform users innovate by creating new features, the platform owner (OpenAI) identifies and integrates these successful innovations, and eventually, these features become commoditised, offered as standard. By embracing this model, OpenAI could boost user engagement, transform its platform, and gain a competitive edge in the AI industry.

We’ll also discuss the accelerators and barriers to this strategy, including user adaptability, regulatory hurdles, and intellectual property rights, and consider how OpenAI could disrupt the market and heighten competition if it fully embraces the ILC approach.
