FIA to Implement AI in Development of Formula 1 Technical Regulations
AI will not yet independently propose aerodynamic solutions: engineers will continue to oversee the process.
The FIA has announced that it will begin using AI more actively in the preparation of the new Formula 1 technical regulations in collaboration with Amazon Web Services.
Dominic Harlow, Deputy Technical Director of the FIA for Formula 1, stated that the organization is considering surrogate models trained on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) data. These models are intended to accelerate simulations and reduce the need for computational resources, engineering time, energy, and financial costs.
AI is also planned to be used for processing safety data, energy management, compliance with regulations, as well as for image and video analysis. According to Harlow, such tools assist engine specialists in identifying anomalies in power unit performance and finding patterns in large datasets.
