Generative Design

Brands in various industries are relying on generative design for concepts

Trend - Generative design is an artificial intelligence program that creates a nearly infinite number of conceptual concepts based on certain data restrictions. While generative design has been used as a novel approach in the past, today, the manufacturing method is gaining more traction in all industries, with brands ranging from architectural to tool manufacturing leveraging the technology.

Insight - Artificial intelligence is no longer seen as a "future" technology, but one that can be capitalized on in the present. Brands are turning to these systems to create concepts that are detached from traditional human biases, ultimately resulting in ideas that are more cost-effective and fruitful. As digitalization becomes the standard rather than the exception, brands will continue to merge human capacity with artificial intelligence to go beyond traditional designs for revolutionary concepts.
Workshop Question - How can your brand leverage artificial intelligence to think outside the box?
