We created Sphinx, an AI assistant that will be your own personal “devil’s advocate”. Sphinx will assist you in challenging your assumptions and reinforcing your arguments, positions and sets of scenarios. Sphinx is now based on OpenAI’s GPT4-Turbo model*, further trained with The Red Team Analysis Society’s methodology and knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start challenging your own assumptions with Sphinx. Don’t forget to also read why a devil’s advocate matters<\/a>,\u00a0and discover how Sphinx challenges<\/a> us on climate change. Please note that OpenAI GPT4 -Turbo models ended their training in December 2023, and that for now, they do not browse the internet. Thus, apart from knowledge conveyed through RTAS articles, the AI assistants are not aware of news having taken place after December 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assumptions, devil’s advocate and AI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Being able to see different perspectives is key for strategic foresight and warning, for example to develop scenarios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is crucial for communication to allow for proper exchanges and constructive behaviour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being able to challenge one’s hypotheses is indispensable in science. Indeed, in science we use falsification, i.e looking for an element, a fact, an event that would prove our hypothesis or explanation wrong. This is the only way to make sure our explanations, understanding, theories are valid (see, for example, Helene Lavoix, “Useful Rules for Strategic Foresight and Risk Management from Taleb\u2019s The Black Swan<\/a>“, The Red Team Analysis Society<\/em>, 28 January 2013).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also fundamental, in strategy, to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One way to challenge our assumptions, is to use what is called a “devil’s advocate”. The term “devil’s advocate”, advocatus diaboli<\/em> in Latin, also known as “Promoter of the Faith”, promotor fidei<\/em>, comes from the practice in the Catholic Church, according to which<\/p>\n\n\n\n
