Connect Digital and Physical Realms
Growing up in an environment where engineering and computerized manufacturing were pivotal, the fascination with how digital programs integrate with the physical world has inspired the pursuit of AI research. This research aims to revolutionize scientific and engineering processes that currently rely heavily on trial and error, consuming significant time and resources in experimental validation. The exploration of language models, like Chad GPT, presents an opportunity to enhance design processes, such as creating improved aircraft wings or drones. However, the challenge lies in ensuring the reliability and validity of the AI-generated designs, raising questions about the effectiveness of AI in contributing meaningfully to engineering and scientific advancements.
