Diane Brady interviews Andrew Anagnost, CEO of Autodesk, who discusses a recent report showing a decline in optimism about AI's potential to transform industries like architecture. Despite previous enthusiasm for AI's capabilities, the latest data reveals only 69% of surveyed Autodesk customers believe it will enhance their sector, down 12% from last year. Anagnost aims to inspire the industry, advocating for more frequent AI use and promoting its potential benefits, especially given the complexity and slow change inherent in architecture, engineering, and construction sectors.
A year ago, it was like, oh my God, it's going to change everything. Now, they're less optimistic about it changing their industry.
Change comes slow in architecture. Few industries are as bogged down in a complex mix of permits, materials, stakeholders, talent, regulations, and politics.
A key part of Anagnost's strategy is to be an AI evangelist, preaching the use-cases and joy to customers.
It's not just people sitting in a dark room, building three models on computers in dark mode. People on the construction site.
