Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, deep neural networks (DNNs) — these topics and buzzwords have captured the lion’s share of technology press in the past few years. But for those who’ve seen more than a few hype-and-bust cycles in the past, the headlines beg the question: Is this stuff real and impactful, or just another round of marketing exuberance that will disappoint in the long run? The answer in a big-picture context is clear: In the long term, artificial and machine learning will fundamentally transform not only technology, but likely society as a whole. The trickier (and more relevant) question for many is: How will it do so, when it will do so, and in which markets and applications will it have the most impact? Certainly, professional computing applications are among those most clearly in the crosshairs of machine learning. And of those professional spaces, CAD presents some of the most compelling uses I’ve seen for the technology. We’re seeing both hardware...
