India, July 31 -- The more intelligence engineers embed into cars, chips, aircraft and industrial systems, the harder those products become to test. NI's answer is to introduce another layer of intelligence into the engineering process responsible for validating them.

At NI Days India 2026 in Bengaluru, Emerson's test and measurement business presented artificial intelligence as both a source of engineering complexity and a potential way to manage it. As products become increasingly software-defined, engineering teams must validate not only physical components but also embedded software, connected systems, AI models and the interactions among them.

"AI is both the problem and the solution to an increasing amount of complexity inside the...
