medium risk

Generative design and simulation speed up engineering, but physical validation, safety accountability and shop-floor work stay human.

Tasks at risk

• Routine calculations and drafting
• Standard component selection
• First-pass simulations

What stays human

• Prototype validation
• Safety accountability
• Trade-offs for real manufacturing
