AI and Frontier Technologies: A New Initiative to Tackle Them Methodically
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is on everyone’s lips, but it often risks becoming — like other technological innovations — a solution in search of a problem. Beyond widely adopted applications, such as personal productivity tools (think of copilots or agents), AI has the potential to transform critical industrial and business processes, enhancing efficiency, quality, and decision-making capabilities. However, achieving tangible results requires a structured and conscious approach.
The Challenge of AI: Skills and Method Come First
The AI introduced to the market in the last year might seem simple, but its implementation in a business context is no trivial task. AI demands specialized expertise, careful planning, and the ability to identify real use cases where it can make a difference. Approaching AI without a strategy often leads to unused or ineffective tools incapable of addressing specific business needs.
To avoid this risk and the superficial trends of a passing fad, the right approach must begin with experimentation through concrete pilot projects and continue with the integration of AI solutions into existing business processes. This is where organizations that combine expertise and method, like WellD, a historic software house in Ticino, come into play.
Aiscream: A Lab to Bring AI to Business
To meet the growing need for a serious and pragmatic approach to AI, WellD has launched a dedicated lab for experimenting with and developing AI and frontier technologies, named Aiscream. This project, born from WellD’s extensive experience in developing critical software, aims to turn AI into a tangible resource for enterprise clients.
The new WellD lab was designed with a clear goal: to address AI in software development with seriousness, expertise, and method. At the heart of the initiative is a structured plan that includes:
- Experimentation: Exploring new applications of AI in realistic scenarios.
- Training: Enhancing both internal and external skills, ensuring teams and clients are better prepared to tackle complex technological challenges.
- High-level skills acquisition: Studying and implementing frontier technologies, returning value to the market through innovative solutions.
- A hub for launching internal projects and initiatives: Promoting and advancing internal products and projects to market readiness.
With this initiative, which will incubate all its most innovative projects, WellD aims to position itself as a trusted partner for companies looking to integrate AI into their processes in a sustainable and strategic way.
