What “human-centric” means for a company

It means designing products and services in which people decide, understand and stay protected. Using artificial intelligence is not enough: what matters is how it is used, for whom and with what safeguards. The Supply Chain brings together the Italian companies that already do so and can prove it.

The five admission criteria

1
People at the centre
The solution starts from a human need and leaves the last word to the person using it.
2
Transparency and accountability
It is clear how it works, who is accountable and how it is corrected.
3
Decent work
Technology improves people’s work instead of hollowing it out.
4
Inclusion and accessibility
It also works for those who are usually left out.
5
Italian roots
The company, its skills and its value stay tied to Italian territories.

The Supply Chain fields

Six fields where the choice between technology for people and technology on people shows every day.

Health and care
Diagnosis, assistance, wellbeing.
Education
Schools, universities, lifelong learning.
Work
Organisations, skills, safety.
Accessibility
Tools for people with specific needs.
Heritage and culture
Museums, archives, creative industries.
Territory
Agrifood, environment, communities, third sector.

The Supply Chain companies

Pending the Committee’s results: five openly human-centric companies we will invite to apply.

Brunello Cucinelli
Solomeo, Umbria
“Humanistic capitalism”: dignity of craft work, hours and places on a human scale, part of the profit returned to the village and the community.
Loccioni
Angeli di Rosora, Marche
A family company making measurement and control technology that invests in young people, schools and the local area, down to energy shared with the community.
Translated
Rome
AI translation that works alongside professional translators and learns from them, instead of replacing them.
Comau
Turin, Piedmont
Collaborative robots and wearable exoskeletons designed to ease the strain on line workers, not to remove them from the line.
Aboca
Sansepolcro, Tuscany
A benefit company caring for health with products made from natural substances, with its own research and farming chain and openness about how it works.

We will invite them to apply: they are not yet Supply Chain companies or confirmed participants of the HDAI Week.

What happens during the Week

The detailed programme will be published together with the Summit’s.

Demonstrations
Each company shows its solution at work, at its own station.
