Abstract
Abstract This review examines the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in advancing process systems engineering (PSE) within the chemical process industries. AI/ML techniques, including neural networks, reinforcement learning, and hybrid modelling, address challenges of process nonlinearity, uncertainty, and real‐time optimization demands. Successful applications in energy optimization, predictive maintenance, and fault detection demonstrate enhanced process efficiency, predictive accuracy, and operational adaptability. Innovations such as digital twins and cyber‐physical systems enable real‐time monitoring and autonomous control. However, adoption barriers, including data quality, computational complexity, legacy system integration, and the need for interpretable models in regulated environments, persist. Addressing these challenges requires scalable, adaptive AI/ML systems, interdisciplinary collaboration, and workforce training. Future advancements in transfer learning, explainable AI, and Internet of Things (IoT) integration under Industry 4.0 frameworks are critical. This review provides a comprehensive guide for researchers and practitioners, outlining strategies to harness AI/ML for sustainable and resilient operations in the chemical process industries.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
