If You Want to Be Creative, Don't Be Data Driven

Our brains like to fill up incomplete information based on our prejudice and confirmation bias.

As all data is inherently incomplete, we use our minds to fill the missing information, based on the existing data we have, and that can go obverse.

The way Data is presented to us triggers our bias and assumptions, blocking our options, and making us less creative.

Our judgment is clouded due to the data, so we come up with sub-par solutions to a problem.

Our perception, creativity, and assumptions drive the outcome of the results from any given data.

Data by itself may be meaningless, but if we use it with our creativity we can harness it and turn it into something useful.

Questioning basic assumptions and your own perception can lead to new potentialities. Human beings can think out-of-the-box, can question creatively, something that machines cannot, yet.
Play, experimentation and the ability to unlock new possibilities are also things only humans are capable of.

Inclusive and holistic thinking is a hallmark of human beings, something that machines cannot accomplish yet, as they cannot process information beyond the data available.

Diversity and inclusiveness in our solutions and decisions are the components of what makes the difference between human beings and data-based decisions.
