a.i. solutions' Internal Research & Development Program

The value of innovation

Our leadership at the highest levels believes in the value of innovation and directs interal funding toward new experimental and exploratory projects each year.

aiLabs is a platform for entrepreneurial employees to pursue their interests, experiment with new technologies, and explore challenging problem sets. All our projects foster skill-building and career growth above and beyond our customer-funded work.

The aiLabs team collaborates with business leaders across a.i. solutions to identify Innovation Targets that support our business objectives, and shares them with the technical workforce. We uncover new opportunities by making connections across divisions within the company and assembling cross-functional teams to collaborate on new ideas.
