Recognizing the growing influence of Machine Learning (ML), a technology contributing to Artificial Intelligence (AI), NAFEMS organized a workshop entitled “AI, Data Driven Models & Machine Learning: How Will Advanced Technologies Shape Future Simulation Processes?” in late April of 2021. As an organization committed to advancing the use of engineering simulation technologies, the availability of ML has made it a viable technology that can be part of the engineering simulation toolkit. To help our membership filter through the hype, the workshop included a diverse group of speakers representing current and practical uses of machine learning in support of product development and design.
