Academic Visit: Hewlett Packard Customer Center¶
Date: Tuesday, June 2 · Afternoon (time TBD) Meet: Outside HP Barcelona office
About HP Barcelona¶
HP's Customer Center showcases AI-driven tools and solutions transforming work — from intelligent print management to AI-assisted productivity across office, home, and mobile.
Pre-Visit Framing (covered in morning class)¶
🌍 Connection to today's class: "We just used AI to transform how we write testbenches. HP is using AI to transform how people work. Same pattern: human expertise + AI scaffolding."
Observation Questions¶
- Where is AI assisting, not replacing? What decisions do humans still make?
- What's the hardware underneath? HP ships physical products — where does digital design fit?
- How do they validate? When AI makes a recommendation, how do they verify it's correct?
