CAD’s Promising Future in AEC

As new AI tools enter the scene at a rapidly increasing rate, they will transform the way CAD or Computer Aided Design is integrated into our existing workflows. From managing data security and intellectual property to transforming the workflows of workers at all levels of involvement in a project, there is a lot of noise for organ?

That’s why we sat down with Autodesk’s Global VP for Product Management & Development, Marcus O’Brien. In this episode, Marcus shares the history behind CAD, how it originally revolutionized the industry, and cuts through the noise to share the tangible ways that new AI and ML tools are shaping the way we work.  

 We discuss: 

• The history and purpose of both CAD and AutoCAD 
• Which ML & AI tools are making a meaningful impact in AEC workflows 
• How AI tools can avoid becoming another “Clippy” 
• Organizational safety and data security when working with cloud-based AI tools 
• How AI tools can empower better and wiser decision-making when utilized properly 
• How AEC organizations are shifting from communication and documentation tools to collaborative tools 
• How common data environments could affect the future of AEC
