A look in the engineers’ toolbox: The intersection of AI and simulation

Today, the capability and reach of artificial intelligence (AI) is continually expanding as the technology grows in complexity. As a result, engineers are faced with new challenges as they are tasked with integrating AI into systems.  Part of the complexity stems from the recognition that AI models are only as effective as the data they’re trained with – if that data is insufficient, inaccurate, or biased, the model’s calculations will be too.
