Simulation Driven AI: From Artificial to Actual and Vice Versa

Li Li, Yilun Lin, Yutong Wang, Fei-Yue Wang

Abstract: In this perspective, we discuss the important role of simulations in building state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) systems. We first explain why simulations become vital in building complex AI systems. Then, we study some challenges and candidate solutions related to simulation-based AI systems. Finally, we discuss future research directions in this field.
