Autodesk surveyed 1,925 industry leaders, futurists, and experts across 20 countries in the design and manufacturing (D&M) industries.1 From this research, we identified a distinct group of artificial intelligence (AI) leaders—organizations that are approaching or have successfully achieved their goals in incorporating AI technology—and compared them with those who haven’t started or are still in the middle of incorporating AI.
