About this issue:
The integration and sophistication of artificial intelligence (AI) in the products and services we use every day is expanding at an increasingly exponential rate. At this point, it might be easier to list the industries not using it than those who are. Broadly speaking, this technology has largely been developed and implemented outside the view of day-to-day consumers. We all benefit from it, but most don’t have any idea of just how pervasive it is or of how it actually works. A few notable customer-facing exceptions are things like Apple’s Siri digital assistant, social media algorithms, self-driving features found in some newer automobiles, and Content-Aware Fill in Adobe Photoshop. Yet for industrial designers, we’re just now seeing a glimpse of wild new horizon ahead of us—one where concept generation workflows are dramatically sped up and the lines between machine and designer become ever blurrier.
