For decades the concept of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been exciting scientists and inspiring the imaginations of writers and film directors. The reality behind these flights of fancy is less outlandish but no less exciting for the scientists at the Institute of Industrial Research (IIR) who are using AI to make real engineering solutions for industry.

Professor Brown, Director of the Institute of Industrial Research, will talk about the use of complex mathematical algorithms to develop a system that provides high-level engineering expertise across a variety of market sectors, such as aircraft, electric cars and process machinery, called The Virtual Engineer.
