Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK) provides design and engineering software services. Simon Mays-Smith, a senior executive at the firm, spoke at the Communacopia and Technology Conference earlier this month, remarking that everyone in the marketplace had been focused on the sexy AI stuff but there was a bunch of unsexy AI stuff that investors needed to focus on more. Giving an example of the sexy AI stuff, the executive outlined that his company had built Bernini, an AI multi-mobile model that was developed from scratch. This remark alluded to competitors using models like Anthropic or OpenAI.

Referring to the unsexy AI stuff, the Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK) executive noted that his company was focused on 3D AI, and not just AI. To illustrate the importance of this endeavor, he outlined that most major AI models could use commands to generate certain specific images, like water jugs, using available water jug pictures. Few of them, however, would be able to provide 3D renditions of this, and this is where his firm was ahead of competitors.
