Artificial Intelligence Engineering Initiatives

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) engineering is an emergent discipline focused on developing tools, systems, and processes to enable the application of AI in real-world contexts. The rise in availability of computing power and massive datasets have led to the creation of new AI, models, and algorithms encompassing thousands of variables and capable of making rapid and impactful decisions. Too often, though, these capabilities work only in controlled environments and are difficult to replicate, verify, and validate in the real world. The need for an engineering discipline to guide the development and deployment of AI capabilities is urgent. AI engineering aims to provide a framework and tools to proactively design AI systems to function in environments characterized by high degrees of complexity, ambiguity, and dynamism; and aims to equip practitioners to develop systems across the enterprise-to-edge spectrum, to anticipate requirements in changing operational environments and conditions, and to ensure human needs are translated into understandable, ethical, and thus trustworthy AI.
