AI4I - Artificial Intelligence for Innovation: How AI May Impact the Innovation Process
Co-organized with FBK Chairs: Francesco MATTEUCCI, FBK \| Roberto GIANNANTONIO, Nanoshuttle, Srl
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly emerging as a transformative force in the business world, offering companies not only the opportunity to enhance operational efficiency but also to gain a significant competitive edge. In an era where innovation is crucial for both survival and growth, AI stands as a key enabling technology for designing and developing novel products and services, attracting top talent, and reshaping innovation dynamics. Organizations that embrace the opportunities provided by AI will be the ones that set themselves apart and thrive in the future. However, leveraging AI effectively requires more than just technological integration—it demands a fundamental rethinking of innovation processes and growth strategies. This workshop will explore how AI is reshaping the innovation landscape, providing insights into its potential to redefine the whole innovation process, steer knowledge, and accelerate market uptake.
