It's really exciting how AI is coming.
It's not just a buzzword now.
A year ago, I saw the glimpse of what
CATIA and AI Leo was capable of.
This is a paradigm shift and the way that we're going to
start working within engineering and design,
it's changed the way that we're going to start doing things.
For me,
it's about really understanding that
it's not something you're scared of,
it's something to embrace and move forward with.
It's important that companies and individuals
do embrace AI or they'll be left behind.
So embrace it with all you can.
I think today,
probably the most practical value is in productivity.
There are many tools that we're offering with all of our AI solutions
that really kind of try to automate the busy work,
the non-value added tasks.
People are starting to really embrace
and understand how AI can really improve,
not replace,
enhance day-to-day workflows,
taking away some of those mundane processes,
that administration side of things and actually,
again,
freeing up time.
So that leads to increased productivity.
The engineer can spend more time
tweaking and perfecting the final result
and less time building up the framework
and the time-consuming and boring bit.
It's a lot more automatic and I think that's going to be coming very,
very soon.
Seeing today how we can take models and
drawings and generate engineering data
that is usable for engineers to speed
up the admin tasks and the simple tasks
that engineers don't like doing will give us so much
more skills in the future to create designs quicker
and better designs quicker.
There will always be a need for an engineer.
AI won't replace it.
It's a complementary tool that allows them more freedom
to do the creative
and essentially that becomes part of the DNA.
So the DNA of the engineering team,
how they add the value,
how they add the experience,
the culture,
the emotion and feeling to the product.
Engineers will always have a role.
In fact,
I think they need to probably do more
in certain areas than they did before.
Defining the requirements,
the needs and really what those engineering goals should be.
It's not here to replace you.
It's here to boost your creativity.
AI is a tool for us,
like CAD was many years ago.
It's going to be amazing as it comes
in and we start getting used to it,
not being scared of it.
Physics doesn't negotiate.
So when you're using AI,
you need an AI tool that is grounded in physics.
And we have the industry world model,
which means all of our results that we create through our AI tools
are tested by best in class solutions to
make sure that the products you create
are something that you can trust for work in the real world.
Whatever the AI helps them with,
helps them automate,
be more productive with, they validate it.
I think engineers love getting into the detail of things,
but they don't always communicate
their ideas and their views very well.
So as an engineer,
I'm trying to show how using the digital
twin can show complex engineering problems
and solutions
in a single source.
So using 3D experience to show all
that engineering data in one place.
When we have connected systems across engineering,
production and your business,
AI is going to be able to provide insights
that we as humans can't really think of.
The young talent,
the people coming into the industry are used to
using these tools and they're expecting to use them.
I think to be 100% honest is to really embrace
the technology of where we're going with it.
If you're using older products and software,
think about how you can use the new tools in your day to day.
Identify use cases where things that take a lot of time,
you can really reduce that time.
So for me,
take away an open mind,
think of it as a paradigm shift.
Just kind of put it to customers to make sure that they're preparing
themselves now for the future advantages that AI can provide them.
We don't have all the answers yet.
It's going to be a journey.
So I'm excited to find out what the customers are going to say to us.
What do they want it to do?
And it'll be really interesting to see how we respond to that
and give them the things that they need to do their jobs better.
