Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning present many promising opportunities. This was evident in recent months when Chat-GPT took the world by storm. Meanwhile, many people have raised ethical concerns about this topic, including engineering practitioners and educators. This interactive workshop will cover the foundational issues and concerns related to AI, potential ethical pitfalls related to AI, and the ongoing efforts to guide the work in AI, with a focus on Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Education. Attendees will be able to bring in one of their current projects that includes AI and conduct an analysis to identify potential ethical issues. An interactive discussion will be carried out to identify possible solutions and remedies to the resulting ethical concerns. If you are currently working on integrating AI in any part of your work, this workshop is for you.
Time: 90 minutes
Presenters: Nael Barakat and Sara Wilson

This panel aims to explore the prospects of in-process nondestructive evaluation (NDE) during next generation manufacturing of structural components. Panelists comprising leading experts in manufacturing and NDE from academia and industry will discuss recent advances in the field and how continuous monitoring of emerging complex manufacturing processes can transform the industry and accelerate adoption of new rapid, additive, and high-rate processes for demanding structural applications. Challenges, opportunities, and needs will be covered from research and workforce development prospectives. Value proposition for the use of in-process NDE will be presented. Possible contribution of real-time NDE to future smart digital manufacturing and Industry 4.0/5.0 will be discussed. Join us to learn about relevant emerging technologies elucidated via engaging discussion.
