Abstract

As a society, we’re facing some of our greatest challenges. From climate change to resource scarcity, we must find solutions that enable a sustainable and robust future. These require innovative ideas and engineering teams must play a key role in delivering them – and artificial intelligence (AI) plays a crucial part of this process.

In this talk, Gopi shares his thoughts on how AI and engineering are critical in achieving a future where sustainability, jobs, and progress are achieved in harmony.

We explore how AI can support engineering teams to solve the challenges that matter, and talk to a host of industry experts as well who address some of the common myths surrounding AI - and consider how humans (particularly engineers) and machines can collaborate and innovate to deliver a resilient future.
