According to the RAE (Royal Academy of the Spanish Language), Artificial Intelligence (AI) is defined as follows: “Part of computer science that studies and develops systems that imitate human intelligence to perform tasks that naturally require it, such as natural language processing, pattern recognition or machine learning.” Nowadays the artificial intelligence has changed the game, and specifically the education world. In addition, the different applications of the new technologies have change dramatically the classroom aspect, from the blackboard to the digital classroom and from the physical presence to the digital classrooms. The graphic design teachers need to be aware of the innovative AI trends. On the one hand, because the students are asking for them, and on the other hand because there are serious advantages in the CAD software that include AI technology. A groundbreaking current trend consist in AI integrated into the CAD software, in order to improve and automate various aspects of Assisted Design. Here, a review of both fields, CAD and AI, is presented. There is a description of the knowledge area, and developments of both fields over time are depicted and compared. Finally, the advantages of AI application in CAD is analyzed. Those include the improvements of typical software, such as design automation, a performance optimization, a design assistance, a predictive analytics, an advanced simulation and a smart interface. Besides, there is a bigger improvement in the field; there is a new flashy software that is known as Generative Design. This new field is also defined and analyzed, purposing new Generative Design software for the CAD lessons and placing them in the engineering students PBL process.
