Designing the Physical World with AI

It sounds like both of you are doing some of this, but use simulation either for data generation or other purposes right now.

The a16z Show
Designing the Physical World with AI

Is that something that you see using more of in the future, using less of, or maybe even other techniques other than simulation?

The a16z Show
Designing the Physical World with AI

So your AI like goes and uses some... All these simulation software.

The a16z Show
Designing the Physical World with AI

They almost use the simulation as a way to sort of verify that as the last step versus as the design.

The a16z Show
Designing the Physical World with AI

Having that intuition.

The a16z Show
Designing the Physical World with AI

I mean, you said earlier, Davide, like 90% – you could 90% do the design and there's still like 10% left where you have a human – I mean, you have a team of amazing electrical engineers that basically goes and checks every design and finishes them.

Like, do you think to close that last gap, is there – do we need some sort of a fundamental breakthrough in ML or in AI research to like –

The a16z Show

to understand the physical world to make that leap?

The a16z Show
Designing the Physical World with AI

Or is it more just further developing or scaling up existing systems?

The a16z Show
Designing the Physical World with AI

Or do you think that's the wrong question to even ask?

The a16z Show
Designing the Physical World with AI

Like automating that last, whether it's 10 or 5 or 1%, doesn't really actually matter that much.

The a16z Show
Designing the Physical World with AI

Lenny's take, yeah.

The a16z Show
Designing the Physical World with AI

Your area seems like

The a16z Show
Designing the Physical World with AI

for lack of a better word, almost more like permeable in that it's less of a controlled system.

The a16z Show
Designing the Physical World with AI

So there's a lot more variables like the wind or I don't know, whatever.

The a16z Show
Designing the Physical World with AI

There's stuff that sort of blows in and might affect you that is hard to be represented by a model.

The a16z Show
Designing the Physical World with AI

So from like outside in, my read would be there will probably have to be this more of a human in the loop model.

The a16z Show
Designing the Physical World with AI

But maybe you disagree with me and you're like, we are going to have fully end-to-end designed, you know, large-scale industrial projects.

The a16z Show
Designing the Physical World with AI

And Aaron, you're totally wrong.
