Francis Bitonti, the CEO, and Co-founder of Lexset, will be addressing the audience about the AI applications in design for 45 minutes, followed by 15 minutes Q&A session at the Computational Design: NEXT 12 conference. Lexset uses generative algorithms and procedural computer graphics to train artificial intelligence on simulated datasets. Francis is an early pioneer of Generative Design, to uses computational techniques to find new solutions to design and engineering problems. His landmark work has been included in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Cooper Hewitt, the Pompidou Centre, and many other prestigious institutions. In 2015 he was selected as a Wired Innovation Fellow and author of “3D Printing Design: Additive Manufacturing and the Materials Revolution.”
