Autodesk’s Jeff Kinder on why digital transformation is a win-win for consumers and businesses. Over the past few decades, society has lived through ongoing stages of technological transformation.

Cloud-based services such as Dropbox and Google Drive enable teams to store large quantities of data and share files easily. Some design and manufacturing businesses are using AI-powered tools such as generative design to create design options faster than ever before – and there is still room for growth.
