Software producer Autodesk has used artificial intelligence to design a chair, the Elbo. The chair was created with Autodesk’s Dreamcatcher software, which allows designers to set goals for the AI in order to produce its own designs. The Autodesk company recently developed "generative" software that allows designers to set objectives for the computer to work with in order to produce its own solutions. “People have been using computers since they were first invented, but it wasn’t until recently that we started seeing machines doing things like designing furniture,” said Alex Karp, CEO of Autodesk.
