Between steam engine and thinking machine: Why GenAI often gets stuck in mechanical and plant engineering
Amidst the digital transformation, the euphoria surrounding generative AI (GenAI) seems to know no bounds. Headlines promise leaps in efficiency, leaner processes and new innovation potential. But a closer look at the studies on the application of GenAI in mechanical and plant engineering shows that the reality is more nuanced, and in some cases even sobering.
