I like your definitions! My personal definition of science is learning rules that predict the future, given the present state. And my definition of engineering is arranging the present state to control the future.

I don’t think it’s unusual for engineering creations to need new science to understand them. When metal parts broke, humans studied metallurgy. When engines exploded, we studied the remains. With that science, we could engineer larger, longer lasting, more powerful devices.

Now, we’re finding flaws in AI and diagnosing their causes. And soon able to build better ones.
