Learning to Build: how machine learning reshapes the way we develop high-technology products

Artificial Intelligence, AI, is disrupting the traditional product development paradigms. An increasing proportion of software is trained rather than explicitly programmed. This approach is attractive because it can offer better results and shorter development times.  The trend is broader however, affecting hardware and system design as well. In this talk Rupert will look at some of the technologies involved, and how the new approaches place increased emphasis on data collection and model validation.
