What were the most significant moments of your Master in Artificial Intelligence and Innovation Management at BBS and how did they influence your professional path?
One of the most significant moments of my Master’s was the first group project on a completely new subject: machine learning. This experience allowed me to engage with complex concepts and develop a collaborative approach that proved fundamental in my professional journey.
Can you tell us about your current experience at Dallara? What are your main responsibilities and how do you apply the skills acquired during the Master?
I currently work at Dallara, where I started with an internship project that I am continuing to carry forward. I am the project leader and part of the team working on generative artificial intelligence. The comprehensive set of communication and coordination skills I gained during the numerous group projects in the Master have been extremely useful.
How do you think artificial intelligence will influence the future of innovation in the automotive sector? Have you seen examples of this trend during your work experience?
The automotive sector is inherently characterized by innovations with very compressed life cycles, so I believe no discipline is better suited than AI for this sector. During my work experience, I have seen how AI is revolutionizing various aspects, from design to production, improving efficiency and opening up new possibilities for innovation.
What advice would you give to students currently enrolled in the Master in Artificial Intelligence and Innovation Management to make the most of this opportunity?
My advice is to get involved, make every exam an opportunity to discover how to apply a particular subject to your passion, if you have one, as I did. Or to discover your own talents and natural inclinations in a domain as vast and multifaceted as AI.
Looking to the future, what are your professional goals and how do you plan to continue developing your skills?
I would like to continue my career in the automotive sector, specifically in the motorsport and racing division, taking on a role as a technical Project Manager dealing with AI.
