 g-Native AI for Designing Physical Systems Abstract: Generative AI has tra
 nsformed how we create text\, images\, and code\, yet it has not yet trans
 formed how physical systems are designed. Engineering design is expressed 
 through geometry\, physics\, and executable CAD and simulation workflows\;
  it demands precision from small\, expensive datasets\; and it lacks the s
 hared data and benchmarks that drove progress in language and vision. In t
 his talk\, I will present our work toward engineering-native AI: models\, 
 data\, and tools built around these realities. I will begin with open data
 sets and benchmarks for engineering design across vehicles\, ships\, aircr
 aft\, and structures. I will discuss how datasets shape what models can le
 arn\, benchmarks define what counts as progress\, and solvers…\n\nhttps:
