From Algorithm Development to Embedded Deployment

From neural networks in the ‘90s to the rise of AI copilots—how MathWorks is shaping the future of engineering innovation.

In this episode, I sit down with Richard Rovner, Vice President of Marketing at MathWorks, to explore the fascinating evolution of AI in engineering. We trace the technology’s journey from its early days in the 1980s, through transformative milestones like deep learning and code generation, all the way to today's AI-driven design tools and copilots.

Richard shares insider perspectives on how AI is changing the engineer’s workflow, what generative AI means for the future, and why the human touch remains essential in a world of accelerating automation. If you’re curious about where engineering and AI are headed—or how to stay ahead in this rapidly shifting landscape—this conversation is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
