Engineering the Future: AI Evolving

Artificial Intelligence has quietly been embedded in our lives for decades. 

While much of the attention today is focused on breakthrough generative AI tools and the expansion of machine learning, there’s also a deeper layer of discussion to explore. 

From the first AI program in the 1950s to mimic human problem-solving, to weather forecasting algorithms, and more recently, programs unlocking the mysteries of our DNA to supercharge medical advancement—its impact has been profound and far-reaching. So, what’s next? 

Join our panel and networking reception, hosted by UNSW Engineering, exploring the full story of AI: its role in shaping innovation, and the emerging frontiers that go far beyond a prompt. 

We’ll explore: 

• How AI has been used in engineering over time to help in areas such as to model complexity, optimise systems, design smarter infrastructure and improve human health 

• The real-world future applications of AI 

• What’s emerging beyond the current generation of AI tools? 

We invite you to join us in taking a deeper look at AI – and the futures it can shape.
