GM is using AI to design vehicles. Here's what that means
We've seen a few posts here about layoffs and cutbacks. What do you think about the impact of GM's use of AI in design jobs? Is there a benefit to the speed-to-market that AI offers?
From the article:
>The birth of a new General Motors Co. car still begins with a sketch. But after that, the Detroit automaker is leaning into artificial intelligence to supercharge development.
>What once took months of work to turn a concept vehicle sketch into a realistic animation now takes days, and checking aerodynamics no longer requires sculpting clay model after clay model. AI saves time, GM design leaders said, and analysts caution U.S. automakers have little time to spare as they hurry to keep up with lightning-fast production speeds in China.
>"We've found that it's coming so fast that if we don't have a shared philosophy and strategy for how to leverage AI, that we'll simply be inundated by the coming wave and be left behind," said Bryan Styles, GM's director of design innovations and technology.
