Details
In their first NDE lessons apprentices are taught the four indispensable elements of an NDE test system: 1) An energy source, 2) A test object, 3) The interaction between that energy source and the test object, and 4) A recording medium for this interaction; and while analyzing how the test system does not function in the absence of one or more of those four elements ineludibly a fifth presence, human intervention, often not addressed for its explicit omnipresence which needs to assimilate and capitalize a rising sixth presence, artificial intelligence (AI), which may be a source of extraordinary opportunities and an unmistakable ally, if properly assimilated, to assist humans to unleash the power of their talent and ingenuity to create and deploy the next generation of NDE systems in the following years.
In this open discussion between the members of the Ethics and Human Factors (E&HF) Workgroup, we will explore the strategy, working initiatives and the results of how ASNT’s engineering council AI/ML committee is contributing to encourage and advance Research on Ethics and Human Factors for AI/ML applications on NDE systems.
