Synopsis:
During last year’s presentation, Dr. Villanueva explored the convergence of Systems Engineering (SE) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) (“On the Love Child of AI and SE”). This time around, we focus our attention to the concept of emergence – the way complex systems and patterns can arise from the interactions of relatively simple components.
We will begin by defining the key principles of emergence, drawing examples from the simple examples in computer science, mathematics, and the natural sciences. We will examine how emergent phenomena manifest in these areas.
For instance, we will look at how the flocking behavior of birds or the self-organization of ant colonies illustrate emergence in natural systems. In AI, we will explore how machine learning models can exhibit emergent properties that were not explicitly programmed. And in fields like game theory, we will see how macro-level patterns emerge from the micro-level interactions of individual agents.
By understanding the mechanisms of emergence, we can better harness its power to create innovative solutions, model complex systems, and unlock new frontiers. This presentation aims to provide an overview of this fascinating concept and its implications for the future of technology and beyond.
