CREWS 2022: stories of experimentation from our R&D teams
Prologue
FROM 00:00Over the past five years, we have welcomed innovation through our Crews program, a fun concept set up to manage our R&D efforts; with few rules and a lot of freedom. In a way, Crews work like in-house startups on a deadline, in that they have 4 months to develop their ideas. Those ideas can birth massive projects: indeed, many of them have eventually become an integral part of our offering, substantially bettering our internal processes.
ChaTmeleon
FROM 13:35Is it possible to imagine AIs as valid support to humans? An analysis of the new GPT-3 model to experiment with its generation, reasoning, and generalization capabilities.
DaWay
FROM 30:40Can a scientific approach support managers in their more strategic decisions? A new work framework was developed starting from a Bocconi University study, to choose in a more structured way, opening up to the use of different data sources.
Prisma
FROM 44:35As humans, we are — more or less knowingly — subject to all kinds of bias, including those related to the workplace. Prisma tries to offer companies a debiasing path to promote a more inclusive workplace that is open to the genuine appreciation of people.
Burning Issues
FROM 59:50An innovative framework to support organizations in considering the social and environmental impact of a project, from the initial, idea generation phase through to its complete development cycle. Five theme-based clusters and one tool that, through a proprietary algorithm, generate synthetic assessments, helping the ideas’ and projects’ selection.
maizeverse
FROM 01:13:45Can voice make interacting with a VR environment even more immediate and natural? This project explored the integration of a conversational agent into a digital environment, with the aid of a photography assistant that helps in creating the optimal layout for a photoshoot.
