Episode notes
Greg Fallon's Early Career Anecdote
- Greg Fallon left his PhD program to join a startup developing high-accuracy simulators for engineers.
- That startup became Ansys, now a global standard in engineering simulations.
Using Simulations to Build Trust
- Most industrial machines have few sensors, making real data unreliable for AI training.
- Combining trusted simulations and multiple data sets speeds model training from years to days.
Building Operator Trust in AI
- Show operators how small AI-suggested changes impact the machine to build trust.
- Emphasize working with operators, not replacing their intuition, to ease adoption.
