DE 24/7 Summit 2025 Preview: How Reliable is Your Copilot?

This year, DE 24/7 Design and Simulation Summit kicks off with a keynote that addresses a crucial question: Are AI-Powered Tools Reliable Enough for Design and Simulation Workflows? Panelists Jan Paul Stein from McKinsey & Company and Sandeepak Natu from CIMdata plan to discuss the AI-powered agents and copilots that have become a regular feature of CAD and simulation programs. 

In the earliest incarnation, the agents are no more than automated programs that crawl through the software makers' public tutorials, manuals, and community chat boards to find answers to the users' questions. But they are expected to evolve and become much more sophisticated over time. In the recent Ansys Simulation World conference, Prith Banerjee, former CTO of Ansys, current Senior VP of Simulation and Analysis Incubation Group at Synopsys, predicted, "Instead of answering your question, the copilot can actually do the settings. That's where it is headed. These are based on hundreds of designs that you have done. So if you are a designer and you like a particular form of design, in the future, the copilot will be personalized to you."

In the keynote, Stein and Natu will address the following, among others:

• How the copilots work and where they get their intelligence from;
• Signs of AI hallucination that raises doubts about a copilot's answer;
• New skills needed for human engineers to collaborate successfully with AI agents.

The keynote is sponsored by GoEngineer, Dell, and NVIDIA.
