Universal Avionics director of professional services Amanda Grizzard oversaw the October 9 launch of the company’s next Grand Challenge, allowing employees to form teams to solve big problems and develop products for the Tucson, Arizona-based avionics manufacturer. This time, the Grand Challenge asks employee teams to determine whether generative artificial intelligence (AI) like ChatGPT can lead to new products.

Grizzard participated in Universal’s first Grand Challenge in 2019 and gladly accepted the role of leading Grand Challenge 2.0. “The company loved it [last time],” she explained. “It was a lot of fun, even though [my team] didn’t get too far.”
