Audi begins usage of artificial intelligence (AI) for the first time in its design department
Audi's in-house AI-based software FelGAN will help in opening new designing avenues for designers
The AI works with two algorithms which compete with each other
Both the algorithms work together to generate a design
The algorithms are designed to learn from their mistakes and improve continuously
Audi designers can also feed the program with their own designs and photos for virtual experimentation
Through the process, the experts at Audi make the virtual design by producing a prototype of the wheel, either in plastic or aluminum
Audi is also thinking to expand usage of FelGAN into a comprehensive AI design platform that can motivate other departments
This software is being seen as Audi's move to become a digital, data-driven company
