Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Autodesk AI?

Autodesk AI technology is available in Autodesk software and native to the Autodesk Platform (US Site). Autodesk AI augments creative exploration and problem-solving, automates tedious and repetitive work, and analyses project data to offer predictive insights.

What is Autodesk's history with AI?

Since 2009, Autodesk's industrial research lab has published over 65 peer-reviewed research papers, making the Autodesk Research AI Lab the world's leading publisher of original AI research for CAD geometry. Over the last 10 years, Autodesk has invested in artificial intelligence because we recognise the transformative power of AI for the industries we serve. It’s already helping our customers achieve more with less. Today, Autodesk AI powers workflows and capabilities across Autodesk software and the Autodesk Platform, with more capabilities coming in the future.

How do I access Autodesk AI technology?

Autodesk AI is native to the Autodesk Platform (US Site) and found in many products in our Design and Make software portfolio, including AutoCAD, Fusion, Maya and the Autodesk Construction Cloud. We are constantly developing and acquiring more AI-powered workflows.

What are the main capabilities that Autodesk is focused on?

  • Augmentation: Features that enhance the creativity and exploratory capabilities of creative professionals by improving speed, quality and breadth of thinking through contextual assistance.
  • Automation: Features that reduce repetitive work by automating steps that traditionally required manual work or significant overhead, minimising error and freeing up more time for creative work.
  • Analysis: Features that provide actionable insights to end users when faced with overwhelming amounts of complex data, helping them understand what is happening in real time to create the smartest solutions.

What is Autodesk doing to ensure the responsible and ethical use of AI and machine learning (ML)?

Autodesk is committed to responsible and ethical AI and ML capabilities from design to development, and beyond, including continuous monitoring and review after becoming available to our users. To that end, Autodesk has created a Trusted AI programme to govern and oversee our development and use of AI. Learn more by visiting the Autodesk Trust Centre (US Site) and read about what Autodesk is doing to build your trust, secure and protect your assets, respond to security incidents and more.

How will AI affect jobs?

AI can help people in the industries we support work better. In Design and Make industries, AI is already assisting creative people, allowing them to do more with less by automating repetitive tasks. In the future, experts believe that AI will continue to enhance human productivity and innovation by cutting through the complexity of huge datasets to provide insights that will lead to better problem-solving and new solutions. The United Nations predicts that the world will add almost 2 billion more people by 2050, most of them in cities. There will be a massive need for more housing, infrastructure and basic resources. AI can help Design and Make professionals meet this demand by increasing productivity and efficiency.

How should I start planning for AI?

AI is fast becoming an essential tool for business. The best way to start planning for AI is to educate both yourself and the people at your company to be AI literate and ensure that your business is “AI ready”. AI readiness requires upskilling your firm’s talent, digitising processes that are still manual and centralising data on a common cloud platform so that AI tools can interact with it. Check out Autodesk's State of Design & Make (US Site) report to learn how peers in your industry are thinking about using AI to transform their workforce.

Where can I start experimenting with Autodesk AI?

One way to start experimenting with AI is by joining the Autodesk Research Community, where tens of thousands of Autodesk customers can access beta software features and participate in the larger conversation with Autodesk researchers and community members.
