What are the practical uses of AI chat bots for either heat treating process troubleshooting or failure analysis of components? How do these two endeavors complement each other? Can the AI actually perform a failure analysis? How does it know which portion of a component to use for microscopy specimens? How does it know what type of sectioning equipment is available? Does it understand the effect of quality systems in a holistic manner? Does it make a difference if a public chat bot is accessed, or a custom version that has been trained on proprietary data? The panel will explore these or similar questions, and invite audience participation in this extended session.
