Abstract

This research is a first of its kind, building an understanding of the opinions of industry professionals on the imminent AI revolution. Semi-structured interviews with eight experienced engineers from a range of industries were conducted. Transcripts of interviews were coded revealing engineering practitioner’s understanding of, experience with, and vision for the use of AI technologies. The significance of the outcomes reveals the challenges industry face in realising an AI-driven design future and the actionable support that researchers and educators can provide to achieve this future.
