The Role of AI in Developing Sustainable Industrial Design

AI is a Paradigm Shift in Sustainable Industrial Design. The paper in question examines the use of Random Forest to optimize material selection, energy consumption, and material waste across the product lifecycle. With the help of AIpowered simulations and data analysis, designers can better inform their design decisions in line with environmental goals. It also offers a framework for how to successfully integrate AI into the industrial design process as well as a dataset it's based on, and the metrics used in evaluating it. The results indicate significant progress in environmental impact dimensions as well as materials and resource efficiencies reducing usage and costs by 77 %, showcasing the role of AI as a key driver for the circular economy. The paper concludes with some critical remarks regarding challenges as well as future directions for sustainable AI manufacturing.
