Abstract

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) necessitates robust system architectures to ensure scalability, reliability, and efficiency across diverse applications. This paper proposes a comprehensive framework for designing AI engineering systems, addressing critical components such as data pipelines, computer architectures, model serving, distributed training, and emerging patterns like federated learning and serverless AI. We introduce novel orchestration techniques, hybrid cloud-edge architectures, and ethical considerations to enhance system robustness. Through detailed case studies on recommendation systems, autonomous driving, and healthcare diagnostics, we illustrate practical implementations and analyze trade-offs. Challenges such as data privacy, resource optimization, and model governance are explored, with future directions emphasizing sustainable AI and quantum computing. This framework serves as a blueprint for engineers building next-generation AI systems.
