By leveraging recent advances in AI and large language models, human-written design rules can now be interpreted and translated into machine-readable logic. This opens the door to two powerful possibilities: Automated, first-time-right class-compliant construction designs,
Optimization within the defined rule space, enabling lighter, more cost-efficient structures. In this session, we share our vision, the approach we took, the challenges we encountered, and where we stand today (6th of February, 2026) in making AI-driven, class-compliant ship construction design a reality.
