Did you read it to the bottom? They’re using 3D printing to build the organic shapes and have already done so to build space vehicles, airplane parts and dune buggies. It also mentions where parts are too complex to manufacture, they ask the AI to account for it and break it into components.
If you think people aren’t already using this for civil engineering, then I’ve got a bridge I want to sell to ya.
Generative design isn’t AI. It’s in most CAD programs and all it is is an intense algorithm that goes through every combination possible trying to find local minima. The BBC has no clue what it’s talking about here, it’s not AI. There’s no “asking” it anything.
This is like saying that LLMs are not AI, they’re just incremental probabilities to determine what the next most probable word is in a sequence of word combinations.

Engineers using a specialized AI to make a design slightly lighter and then using a 3D printer to print that design isn’t a 3D printer using AI.

Machine learning is machine learning.
Since when is generative design machine learning? It’s finding local minimus not machine learning.
