The message of TRIZ (theory of inventive problem solving) consists not only in solving problems and developing inventive thinking of people, but also in the creation of a system of values, which corresponds to the goals of uniting civilizations on Earth based on domination in the society of creative and loving interrelations, not the exploitive, money-grubbing and authoritative relations. The civil-sphere formed on such principles (uniting earthly civilizations into a single system) is a geosphere of a new type together with lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere. The present work reviews regularities of forming and development of geospheres. The com-parison is drawn between the scale of civilization processes and the processes of development of other geospheres, which enables to conclude that the civil-sphere is at the starting stage of for-mation. It is shown that on the one hand culture is a key factor in evolution of civil-sphere, since it includes not only art and sciences, but also technologies and systems of values, while on the other hand this is culture, which appears to be a source of cognitive distortions, which are able to bring civilization to catastrophic events. The formation of TRIZ civilization is one of the tools used for compensating such cognitive distortions. In this work the author for the first time offers a definition of civil-sphere, TRIZ civilization as well as introduces other terms, associated with the corresponding notions. Different aspects of forming the concept of TRIZ-civilization are analyzed, as well as the goals, tasks and structure of TRIZ –civilization, key tasks of development of TRIZ and TECP (theory of creative personality evolution). The structure of TRIZ-civilization proposed in this work, implies that by the middle of the 20th century the need for scientists, specialists, consultants and trainers, related to TRIZ as well as TRIZ students and trainees will amount to more than 20 million.

The article discusses the notions of Creativity, as a general creative ability, and Controlled Imagination, as a feature of inventive thinking. High-level inventive activity requires inventive thinking underpinned by awareness of the objective laws of systems evolution. Creativity alone is not sufficient to solve advanced inventive problems. Creativity as a general creative ability applies to three types of entities: the person, the product and the process, but it takes no heed of the evolution patterns of the product as such. TRIZ training shapes and promotes inventive thinking. TRIZ uses a modelling approach to foster the components of inventive thinking. In addition to inventive thinking, TRIZ classes propagate motivation for creativity. The article sums up the findings of a small experiment comparing creativity and inventive thinking.

The article discusses two fundamental strategies for integrating the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) and Artificial Intelligence (AI): “TRIZ+AI” and “AI+TRIZ”. Using the Compinno-TRIZ and AutoTRIZ software packages as examples, their capabilities and limitations are demonstrated. The authors propose a methodology for assessing the level of inventive thinking in AI based on the component model of TRIZ. It is shown that modern AI models, such as GPT, demonstrate a level of inventive thinking comparable to that of a second-year university student. The most promising areas of their application are the stages of problem analysis and refinement of solutions, whereas the generation of fundamentally new solutions remains the domain of the human expert.
