AI turns the R&D process very fast.

Maybe in the future, the R&D process will be fully automatized. Polish SciFi writer Stanislaw Lem introduced that model in his novel "Peace on Earth" the model where the AI-developed machines will turn a threat to Earth. The system would include two systems. Super simulators and selective simulators. 

Supersimulators are AI-controlled computer-based systems where the system creates virtual models of the aircraft and other tools. The selective simulator is the AI-based system that hosts the opponent's digital twins. 

In the R&D the super simulator creates a virtual model. Then a selective simulator uses its digital models to fight against it. It's possible that if the super simulator and its model win. It delivers that model to the selective simulator. And after that, it gets data on why those digital competitors win or lose. Then it tries to develop a new model that beats its original model. 

AI shows its power in the R&D process. The AI developed in Dubai created the rocket engine in three weeks, while NASA engineers made the same system over decades. 

That is one of the areas. Where AI shows its power. The system requires specific and well-made orders. Then, AI and deep neural networks do the job. Deep neural networks can connect free, internet-based data collected from simulators and laboratories. 

Deep learning systems can develop materials. And shapes of other things. Like aerodynamic structures in other laboratories. 

AI can involve those processes in other projects. Highly advanced flow simulations are tools that can make many things virtually, that previously required physical models. Because the system uses mainly virtual tools it's cheaper than traditional processes. The system can make even millions of simulations and calculations in seconds. 

When AI controls the 3D printing systems it can search things like bubbles inside the materials. That makes those systems more flexible and more effective than previous systems. The fast R&D process is the key element in many new tools. The ability to make the rocket-engine type of tough tools that require precise and high-quality work. That kind of system is dangerous in the wrong hands. 

The AI-based R&D process makes it possible to create things like stealth fighters in a new and effective way. 

AI-generated structures and materials including computer codes are things. That some people like Kim Jong-Un want. 

X-ray spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopes aerodynamic and radio reflection simulations are tools that make it possible to create very advanced systems very fast.
