AI’s reach continues to creep into the design space. More and more, designers have submitted to this infiltration—either willingly, taking advantage of AI-powered software that eases the burden of repetitive tasks, giving them more time to create and explore novel concepts; or reluctantly, being forced by management to take advantage of the cost-savings resulting from using the technology. Rather than fight the technology, designers leverage it for untold advantages.

With a growing number of AI tools, from wordsmithing to image and video creation, to engineering and product design, how can a designer leverage the technology to their advantage?
Digital Engineering is addressing this issue and more in a free, live webinar roundtable series titled “The Role of Human Designers in the Age of Generative AI,” to be held Thursday, May 29.
A production of Digital Engineering’s DE 24/7, the roundtable will feature Jon Peddie, president of Jon Peddie Research, and Andrew Sartorelli, product management and partnership lead at Sunera. Digital Engineering Senior Editor Kenneth Wong will moderate.
The topic and its importance are timely and increasingly relevant to the industry and its practitioners as AI, ML, generative design, and topology optimization tools in CAD design programs continue to evolve, allowing users to leverage proprietary data and explore different concepts with natural language input.
During the roundtable, the panelists will discuss how people can use their proprietary data to further train their AI program in the design software. They will also cover:
- New ways to design with natural language input.
- How veteran designers and domain experts can assess AI output.
- How to train design tools with historical data.
Those wishing to tune in live to this event need to sign up here. A recording of the roundtable will be able shortly after the broadcast for those who sign up to receive the link here.
