Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the future of Engineering

A joint IMechE / IET Event: What is artificial intelligence, where did it come from, how is it impacting us today?

About

What is AI, why is it currently so fashionable, what is new, what is now different?

Have we not been using AI ever since there were data bases? Intelligent applications are already all around us – Google, chatGBT, Alexa, etc. 

Isn’t there confusion of AI with automation, robotisation, 3D modelling and general use of the internet all of which we have used in engineering for years?

How can we be certain of accuracy, where is responsibility, what are the risks to safety, security, IP?

How will our engineering world be affected by AI and how should we use it?
