Big Data | Artificial Intelligence (AI)
• AI is the study and design of intelligent agents
• An agent is a computer program (software or hardware)
• An intelligent agent is an agent capable of perceiving, thinking and acting
• An intelligent agent is rational if it does the “right thing”, given what it knows
• Agents can improve their behavior through learning
ANSYS Innovation Conference 2018 | © CRIT Srl 2018
Big DataArtificial Intelligence
• Machine Learning: barriers to entry have been greatly lowered
• Deep Learning: it is revolutionizing the industry pushing far beyond the frontiers of what it is possible to do with Machine Learning

Advantages
Technological Benefits
• Greater freedom in design: Design for functionality VS Design for manufacturability
• Complex geometries: not achievable with traditional techniques
• Lighter items: less use of raw materials (Design for light weighting)
• New materials: ad hoc production of specific quality controlled materials
... provided that the design or re-engineering processes are consistent with the potential of additive technologies (THINK ADDITIVE)
