Mind the Engineering AI Gap: Why Engineering Teams are Struggling to Realize the AI Opportunity and How to Fix It
New global data reveals a stark truth: While nearly every engineering leader says AI will transform hardware design and simulation, only a small number have cracked the code.
Our latest survey of over 300 engineering leaders globally exposes a widening execution gap—where bold AI ambitions collide with aging CAE toolchains, fragmented data, and internal power struggles can negate innovation.
This webinar explores research findings to reveal why most enterprises remain stalled at AI pilot stage, and what concrete steps any team can take to close the gap—fast.
Watch it to get the first pre-publication look at the research findings and leave with an action plan to make AI a competitive weapon for your engineering teams, not just a boardroom buzzword.
