Systems Thinking Is Vital in the Age of AI
Modern engineering projects increasingly combine human judgment with machine capability. An engineer can define a problem, then ask an artificial intelligence tool to search relevant research and technical standards, generate design options, test them in simulation, and compare the results. The engineer can then bring the results to specialists who understand the parts AI cannot judge on its own, such as whether a design can be built safely, whether it makes sense in a particular setting, or how it might affect its users. The final decision about whether and how to move forward remains a human responsibility. AI can help engineers do early project steps that once required several people with different technical skills. The engineer’s role is therefore expanding from performing each technical step to deciding how people, machines, and specialists’ knowledge should work together on the pro
