Avnet recently conducted a survey among some of its key audiences. The topics were: How AI is impacting engineering. It doesn’t get any closer to home than that.
To understand how the survey was conducted and, more importantly, what the results showed, I spoke with Alex Iuorio, Avnet’s senior vice president of global supplier development.
Alex and I discussed the results, what they mean, and what the future holds for AI in engineering. Check out this week’s Embedded Executives Podcast to hear what he has to say.
