ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR SYSTEMS ENGINEERING COMPLEXITY: A REVIEW ON THE USE OF AI AND MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS

Abstract

This review examines the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in addressing the complexities of systems engineering. It highlights how AI and ML are revolutionizing system design, integration, and lifecycle management by enabling automated design optimization, predictive maintenance, and efficient configuration management. These technologies allow for the analysis of large datasets to predict system failures and optimize performance, thereby enhancing the reliability and sustainability of engineering systems. Despite the promising applications, the integration of AI into systems engineering presents challenges, including technical hurdles, ethical considerations, and the need for comprehensive education and training. The paper emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary approaches and the continuous evolution of educational programs to equip engineers with the skills to leverage AI effectively. Concluding thoughts underscore AI's potential to redefine systems engineering, advocating for a balanced approach that addresses both the opportunities and challenges presented by AI advancements. Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Systems Engineering, Automated Design, Predictive Maintenance, Configuration Management, Education and Training, Technology Integration.
