Thomas Von Schamer anticipates that the integration of AI into engineering will lead to faster product cycles and an explosion of new form factors with improved quality and efficiency. He likens the pattern of AI development to protein folding, where complex problems are solved more rapidly through data and learning.
“As we reach that point, and probably even before, we can expect faster and faster product cycles and an explosion of new form factors, all with higher quality and better resource efficiency than we've ever experienced before.”
“And now somehow with enough data and the magic of learning, we can take a couple of orders of magnitude out of the compute that's required.”
