A future engineer (Low) 25 days ago
Every airplane design is characterized by its distinctiveness and meticulousness. Although artificial intelligence (AI) has the capability to surpass the calculations involved in designing aircraft, the role also depends on the consumer. While AI might potentially dominate the field of engineering, the business aspect remains rooted in the expertise of the engineer.
