![]() ![]() What I love about AI is, it’s going to augment or enhance engineering workflows or engineers in general, in their product development processes. It’s like, they’re going to substitute us, they’re going to destroy us and whatnot. Because a lot of people think when AI comes, it’s kind of this Terminator scenario and whatnot if you watched that movie. So where I see AI sitting in this ecosystem is kind of as a third hand, if you want, or an extension of human capabilities to achieve more. So the engineers will be the responsible ones for artificial intelligence to be able to properly train and then make accurate predictions. Who’s gathering that data? Most of the time, engineers. So first of all, we need high quality data. So we don’t have artificial intelligence, we have artificial stupidity, if you want to call it that. So if you don’t give it enough data, AI will be super stupid. So we’d rather think about actually enhancing or augmenting engineering abilities because AI, first of all, is very dumb. Where I see AI in this whole ecosystem, if we want to call it an ecosystem, is that AI is not here to replace engineers. Maybe let’s think about the product development process in general because usually when we talk about the simulation space, we talk about things such as front loading and computational fluid dynamics, HPC and enhancing engineering abilities to actually solve problems faster using simulation. If we step forward in time, say a decade into the future, what sort of role do you see AI and ML playing in the world of engineering? So I’m going to start with a big question. So today we’re going to talk about artificial intelligence and machine learning, and we’re going to talk about how it’s going to affect the future of engineering simulation. So I’m reassured that people like you are coming out of university to replace people like me. And actually, more and more, it’s becoming a multi-domain problem where engineers have to cross all those domains. My view is that most of the simple problems in engineering have already been solved, problems that just involve fluid mechanics or just involve structural mechanics. So engineers should be able to know a little bit about FEA, CFD, CAD modeling, AI for sure, because I think AI will play a huge role in the product development process of engineers in the future. So either you go very deep into one topic, which you have done, which I think is good because we need people like you who are experts in that field, but the Tisha personality, I think, will be something which will definitely be more common, so to speak, in the future. ![]() Usually what we refer this to is the Aisha personality type or a Tisha personality type. Do you think that’s the future of engineering, is generalists like yourself? You’ve done some FEA, you’ve done some CFD, and I think that’s kind of the profile of modern engineers, isn’t it? People like me who are just single, niched CFD guys or FEI guys are perhaps dinosaurs who are going to die out in the future. And listening to that description of you, you sound like a generalist. So one of my observations is, I graduated from university almost 30 years ago. So when did you graduate from University, Jousef? So yeah, I’m really looking forward to this episode today, Stephen. I also host a podcast called The Engineered Mind, where I also was very lucky to interview a lot of AI and simulation enthusiasts and experts. I work for a company in London called Monolith AI, so they do AI for engineers. So in my bachelor’s, I focused on structural mechanics, so FEA, so Finite Element Analysis, switched over to CFD, Computational Fluid Dynamics and turbulent modeling in my master’s, and then finished off my master’s thesis using AI on 3D data, which we might even talk about later in this podcast. So my name is Jousef, as you already mentioned in the introduction. It always feels a bit different to be on the other side of the seat, so to speak, being the interviewed one. Thank you so much for the kind introduction, Stephen. Could you start off by telling us a bit about yourself and your background as an engineer and as a social media influencer?ĭefinitely. And in this podcast, I wanted to talk to Jousef about how artificial intelligence and machine learning will affect the future of engineering. ![]() Jousef is the host of The Engineered Mind podcast and YouTube channel, which has over 20,000 subscribers now, I think, and is fast approaching the magical hundred podcast episodes. I’d describe Jousef as one of the biggest influencers in the simulation game. And he’s also the author of the Sunday Science Newsletter, which arrives in your inbox every Sunday morning, with all the exciting news about science and engineering. With me today is Jousef Murad, who describes himself as an engineer, a YouTuber, and a podcaster. ![]()
