Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Mechanical Engineering: A Comprehensive Overview

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is coming to mainstream and as emerged as a transformative force in various fields not just limited including mechanical engineering. This paper provides an overview of the profound impact of AI on the practice and evolution of mechanical engineering. The usage of AI technologies in the field of mechanical engineering has potential to revolutionize traditional design, manufacturing, and maintenance processes. With AI-powered design tools engineers now can generate optimized designs faster with greater efficiency, leading to enhanced product performance and reduced development cycles. Further, Predictive/forecasting method of AI in maintenance systems facilitate early detection of equipment failures, thereby minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
