Future of Engineering Design in the Age of AI

This keynote explores the transformative impact of AI on engineering design, highlighting its role in fostering innovation beyond traditional bounds. AI's capacity for generating novel solutions is not only enhancing efficiency but also redefining creativity and problem-solving in engineering. We are at a pivotal moment where the essence of design creativity intersects with the need for technological precision, marking a fundamental shift in the design process, the designer's role, and the tools used in engineering. This presentation will focus on three key transformations: the evolution of the design loop, the changing role of designers in an AI-driven world, and the advancement of engineering design tools. Together, these shifts represent a new era in engineering design, where AI acts as both a catalyst for innovation and a bridge between imagination and realization.
