Machine Learning APIs Changing the Digital Engineering Landscape

AI in Design and Manufacturing: Autodesk’s Big Bet

Autodesk, a world leader in 3D design and engineering software, is making a big bet on artificial intelligence (AI) with the launch of Autodesk AI. The company envisions using AI to create and edit 3D models in real time using natural language and semantic controls. With its acquisition of BlankAI, Autodesk plans to debut this AI technology in its automotive design studio, allowing designers to generate new concepts based on historical design work. The company also plans to give users the ability to refine the AI algorithms using their own proprietary data, potentially leading to personalized machine learning. While this technology will initially be available in Autodesk’s automotive portfolio, the ultimate goal is to integrate it into its Fusion industry cloud.
