Having tools with artificial intelligence at our disposal that are really able to ‘do’ work for us, it is irresistible for many to resort to it for creative tasks. However, Gorden Wagener has decided to put his feet on the ground and be very clear.

Wagener, who has been in Mercedes for almost 30 years and has signed jewels such as the Mercedes Slr McLaren or the AMG One, not to see renders of cars made with the social networks and does not like anything.

«Create 99% shit solutions that are really ugly, rare or not specific to the brand,» says Wagener, without cutting a hair. Specifically, the German designer has explained at the Munich IAA Mobility Fair that These cars generated by AI that are seen online are a mixture of impossible exaggerations and little inspiring designs, which do not contribute anything truly new or practical.

Curling the curl, for him, this even complicates his work because when people see those renders Fully taken from context with absurd and too spectacular forms that could never be manufactured, it is difficult to create real cars that excite and be functional.

Of course, he speaks of 99% so, there is 1% that seems that he likes and also recognizes it. «There are 1% interesting things, new ideas that inspire us and in which AI does help.»

Comment that Mercedes is already using the tool to make funds or accelerate stages of the creative process, but always as support, not as a replacement. The problem, says Wagener, is to differentiate the good material from that 99% of little useful results generated by AI, which are massive on the Internet.

«My successor will be a machine, and it will be much cheaper»

Leaving aside the issue of the images generated with AI, he affirms that he is also completely changing his work and that sooner rather than later a machine will be his replacement. «My successor will be a machine, and it will be much cheaper,» he says.

«The AI ​​will drastically change the way we design. I think in 10 years perhaps most of the design will be made by AI and will make the designers obsolete,» he adds.

Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia: «We will have to pay the robots to work»

The truth is that the issue of the arrival of robots to the work world is not as far -fetched as it seems. «By the end of this decade, at least 50 million workers will be missing in the world. If we could, we would pay $ 50,000 to each one, but we will probably end up paying that amount to the robots to work,» Huang said.

Although this may sound quite alarming and precipitated, the truth is that it is not exaggerating at all. The new Isaac G00T N1 model, presented at the event, is an open source platform created to accelerate the development of humanoid robots capable of learning, adapting and performing tasks increasingly close to those that humans do.

From moving objects to manipulating all kinds of materials and tools or even evaluating products, these robots are already being tested by companies such as Agility Robotics, Boston Dynamics and Neura Robotics. The objective is that they cease to be simple tools and become co -workers, day to day, to collaborate and learn with humans.

The CEO ensures that AI is in a ‘turning point’ and that its company is already the backbone of large data centers and the current economy at the technological level.

Without going any further, Companies such as General Motors have already announced that they will incorporate the technology of this company into their next generation of self -employed cars, while Toyota and Uber also bet on their chips and software For automated driving.

As he explains, the idea is that, in the future, all companies have a ‘secondary AI factory, with their own robots and intelligent systems that will work autonomously, while even learning from their surroundings and optimizing all processes. «The AI ​​is expanding the limits of the possible, turning yesterday’s dreams into today’s realities,» said the CEO.
