AI for Smarter Product Development and Manufacturing

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making product development and manufacturing more advanced by helping with smarter design, flexible production and better supply chains. This review focuses on important technologies such as machine learning, deep learning and generative design and how they bring about change in the manufacturing of products. AI is demonstrated in real situations to help businesses innovate, improve work quality and operate more efficiently, as it also manages problems like data quality, bias, creating clear systems and the effect on employees. The importance of ensuring trust and accountability in AI is better explained when using an approach that focuses on people, ethics, understandable AI and close human-AI cooperation. In the end, it proves that using AI responsibly leads to more flexible, open and equitable manufacturing systems. If we use AI responsibly, it could help industries produce creative and durable products which would benefit society and help the economy grow.
