Sufian Aldogom argues that systems engineering thinking is crucial in the AI era

Sufian Aldogom argues that systems engineering thinking is crucial in the AI era. An article published by IEEE Spectrum on October 29, 2026, points out that AI can help engineers complete early-stage steps such as retrieval research, generating design proposals, and simulation testing, and the engineer's role therefore shifts from executing every technical step to coordinating the division of labor among people, machines, and expert knowledge. The article emphasizes that AI will give seemingly credible answers when assumptions are weak, making human judgment and systems thinking even more important, and suggests that IEEE build communities around cross-domain issues such as clinical AI and resilient infrastructure and develop standards for human-machine collaboration. At present, this viewpoint is presented in the IEEE Spectrum article, with no subsequent developments yet.
