Yoni Nir, V12 Program Manager at HP, joins Dr. Maor Farid to share a practical, grounded perspective on how AI will impact mechanical engineering in real-world, high-complexity systems.

Yoni explains why AI adoption in engineering depends on both risk and complexity, and why high-risk, multi-physics systems will take longer to fully transition to AI-first workflows.

The conversation also explores what AI will realistically change first: freeing engineers from tedious work like part selection, data retrieval, and documentation, while enabling them to focus on higher-value design decisions.

Yoni shares how this shift could lead to a “golden age” of mechanical engineering, where engineers become significantly more productive, while still maintaining full responsibility for critical decisions.
