About Dr. Tony Mccaffrey

As an AI researcher, I have designed an innovation tool that overcomes ChatGPT's weaknesses to innovation (and those of other LLMs). While ChatGPT works with common associations, this new tool works with uncommon associations that are still semantically close. From NSF funded research, it is known that these uncommon yet semantically close associations are the key to creative solutions.Also, as an AI researcher, I have developed a new model in which classic AI, ML, and Humans all collaborate to counter each other's weaknesses in creative problem solving. Called BrainSwarming, it has been popularized by Harvard Business Review videos (see below) as an in-person group problem solving process. It is soon to become an online platform with AI and ML added in.As a computational complexity theorist, I have authored the first mathematical proof that there is a limit to how creative a computer can be. It is a type of Incompleteness Theorem. Published in AI EDAM, it shows that the features of any object are not computably enumerable. As a cognitive psychologist, I note all the mental obstacles to innovation and devise counter techniques. "Overcome Any Obstacle to Creativity," my book that articulates all these techniques, is available on Amazon.com.I also work with math savants to help them clarify their ideas. My first savant's results in number theory will be made public soon.

  • Brainswarm Ai
    Co-Founder
    Brainswarm Ai Apr 2023 - Present
    ChatGPT failed to solve any of my creativity puzzles because it is trained on common associations. Creative solutions are built upon obscure associations (uncommon ones that are semantically close). BrainSwarm AI is making a highly creative problem solver by extending LLMs to unearth obscure associations.
  • Eagle Hill School
    Head Of Department
    Eagle Hill School Aug 2019 - Present
    Hardwick, Massachusetts, Us
    At Eagle Hill School (eaglehill.school), I teach programming, app creation, video game design (Unreal), entrepreneurship: Python and C++ programming, App creation, Video Game Design (Unreal Creativity Engine), 3D design (Fusion 360), Animation (Blender), and Entrepreneurship. My students range from grades 8-12 and each one has a learning challenge. It is very rewarding and requires a great deal of creativity to devise new approaches to convey the material to students with diverse learning styles.

    Freelance Sep 2017 - Present
    I help potential savants (especially in math) articulate their novel ideas and check them against known knowledge to determine whether or not they are onto something new. My current savant has made several discoveries in number theory.
  • Self-Employed
    Ai Creativity Researcher
    Self-Employed Jan 2020 - May 2023
    I develop algorithms to help humans overcome our mental obstacles to being creative. I also articulate current obstacles to machine creativity and devise new methods and algorithms to overcome those obstacles.

    Finding Your Creativity ProfileWhat techniques do people in your field use when trying to be creative? What techniques are used in science? In the various arts? How do you know any of these techniques are effective? Students will try out creativity techniques for individuals and groups that have come from inventors (e.g., Edison), scientists (e.g., Einstein) and artists (e.g., Da Vinci) as well as from the fields of philosophy, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and engineering. As students engage with these techniques, they will begin to formulate a sense of the psychological and neural dynamics involved in being stuck and creativity getting unstuck. They will also be exposed to the scientific evidence for each technique. Each student will develop their own personal toolkit of creativity techniques--their own creativity profile--that they can use and refine for the rest of their lives. This course is for people from all fields who want to improve their creativity and understand the underlying science.

    I received funding from the NSF to turn my dissertation research into software that will help engineers become more innovative. The grant was awarded to me under the auspices of the NSF Center for e-Design.The NSF Center for e-Design creates electronic tools to assist the engineer in the design process. The Center is a multi-university organization, including UMass Amherst, Virginia Tech, and Carnegie Mellon. I work with Prof. Sundar Krishnamurty, UMass Amherst and co-director of the Center, and Prof. Nicholas Polys, Virginia Tech Human-Computer Interaction.
