人工智能对工程生态的塑造与驱动
Artificial Intelligence's Role in Shaping and Energizing Engineering Ecosystems
摘要
Abstract
The impact of artificial intelligence(AI)is pervasive,with technologies such as machine learning,deep learning,natural language processing,and computer vision being widely applied across various engineering domains.These technologies not only shape the engineering ecosystem but also drive its dynamic evolution.This paper examines the development trends and competitive landscape of AI from an engineering ecological perspective,focusing on the role of AI in shaping the engineering ecosystem and the manifestations and internal mechanisms of how AI drives the dynamic evolution of the engineering ecosystem.It is argued that in such an engineering ecosystem,artificial intelligence not only reshapes the engineering ecosystem but also drives its dynamic evolution.Intelligent artifacts have become intelligent partners in human activities;various ecological relationships have been reconstructed by artificial intelligence;data has become the"blood"for the operation of the engineering ecosystem,and the computing power network has become its"nervous system".Moreover,artificial intelligence has become the fundamental driving force for the dynamic evolution of the engineering ecosystem.Its internal mechanisms mainly include:artificial intelligence agents strengthen the interaction among the micro,meso,and macro levels of the engineering ecosystem;they enhance the increasing returns and network effects in the engineering ecosystem;they have intensified the competition among engineering ecosystems.and they give rise to intelligent construction methods for the engineering ecosystem,thus driving the dynamic evolution of the engineering ecosystem.When all aspects of engineering practice are equipped with cognitive units with autonomous evolution capabilities,an intelligent engineering ecosystem will emerge,and its dynamic evolution will exhibit stronger emergent characteristics.It is concluded that with the emergence of the intelligent engineering ecosystem,various new engineering niches have come to the fore,and the comprehensive intelligentization of engineering practice—including intelligent engineering decision-making,intelligent engineering design,intelligent engineering implementation,and intelligent engineering operation—has become an imperative.In this context,the"basic rules"of engineering practice are undergoing fundamental changes.Engineering practice has evolved into engineering ecological practice,and ecological thinking is becoming an important form of thinking that determines the success or failure of engineering practice.Engineering practitioners should not only focus on internal matters but also look outward.They need to pay attention to the broad ecological environment where engineering practice takes place and its real-time changes.Only in this way can they build the ideal project.For engineering practitioners,the basic lesson is as follows:They must actively embrace artificial intelligence and equip themselves with it as soon as possible to become"engineering practitioners empowered by artificial intelligence".On this basis,they should apply artificial intelligence to all aspects of engineering activities while remaining highly sensitive to the risks associated with AI applications.By doing so,they can enhance the capabilities,efficiency,and resilience of engineering practice,ultimately ensuring the sustainable development of engineering activities in the intelligent era.关键词
