AI is playing an increasingly pivotal role in reshaping the paradigms of engineering by providing methodologies and tools that will enhance precision, efficiency, and adaptability across industries. So, what are the latest developments and the four key trends that have been identified that engineers should be aware of? Trend #1: GenAI Moves onto Block Diagrams, 3D Models, and Flow Charts While the initial focus on text-based GenAI continues to influence software-centric workflows, its impact on engineering tools with higher-level abstractions is lagging. In 2025, we expect continued progress in applying GenAI to “no code” engineering tools such as block diagrams,…

After spending weeks looking into Reddit threads, Discord servers, and student forums, I discovered a fascinating trend in how students really use AI tools – and it’s not what most tech blogs would have you believe. While scrolling through thousands of student discussions across r/college, r/gradschool, and various university subreddits, I found that the most hyped AI tools often weren’t the ones students actually swear by in their daily academic lives. My investigation through real student conversations revealed surprising patterns in AI tool adoption. What caught my attention wasn’t just the tools mentioned in viral posts, but the recurring recommendations…

In an era when artificial intelligence increasingly shapes decisions in education, it’s critical to examine how these technologies impact historically marginalized communities.AI offers both promise and peril, and parents have the power to drive this change. By engaging with schools, collaborating with their communities and advocating for transparency and inclusivity, they can ensure that AI serves as a tool for empowerment rather than exclusion.As a tool of social capital — the networks and resources that help individuals achieve their goals — AI could be transformative in addressing systemic inequities. However, if not carefully designed and utilized, it risks inadvertently amplifying…

AI is a highly effective, multifaceted tool that can not only improve worker productivity for simple tasks, but can also dramatically transform customer service, cybersecurity, and even business strategy. Content that is augmented and shaped by AI – intelligent content – greatly increases the efficiency of human work. When AI is used effectively, people are not replaced but enabled to work smarter so they can focus on higher-value tasks and strategic decision-making.  A recent study by Foundry finds that because content and data are at the center of business processes, an inability to properly store, manage, integrate, and access that…
