Learn about the topic from several angles:
Thor Muller has made a career out of guiding people, communities and companies through technological transitions. As co-creator and director of the AI prompt engineering practice at Mach49, a global company helping large organizations incubate their own startups. In his role, Thor works with AI experts researching and developing new ways for AI to enhance the creativity and effectiveness of teams.
As the co-founder of the Rogue Valley AI Lab (RV/AI), Thor works to nurture a growing community of our region’s AI practitioners, enthusiasts, and curiosity-seekers with bi-weekly sessions open to all. Partnering with local institutions like SOU and Scienceworks, RV/AI aims to wisely integrate AI into local communities in ways that promote health and wellbeing. RV/AI offers opportunities for people to learn about, find work, conduct independent research, and build businesses with generative AI.
Thor is also known for co-authoring the NYTimes best-seller “Get Lucky: How to Put Planned Serendipity to Work for You and Your Business.” The book shows how serendipity is a skill of “discovering things that you didn’t know you were looking for,” and why this is a fundamental driver of creative pursuits. Drawing from his experiences as an entrepreneur and creative, Get Lucky outlines eight concrete methods that can be used to increase the presence of serendipity in work, art, and play.
With over 30 years in technology and entrepreneurship, Thor has founded, advised, and built numerous companies. Notable ventures include Get Satisfaction, a customer service platform that empowers customers, and Zola Electric, which has illuminated lives across Africa with renewable energy.
