Generative AI (Gen AI) continues to create an impact across industries, including automotive. In the next decade, Gen AI is expected to significantly influence automotive value chains, increase efficiency, and reduce waste. In the supply chain, it will be used to optimize inventory and demand forecasting, while in product development, it can be used to generate design ideas, accelerate prototyping, and shorten the time-to-market. 

In manufacturing, it can be used to reduce bottlenecks on the assembly line and provide real-time insights to production engineers to make informed decisions. In retail, it can be used to provide 24x7 sales support to dealerships executing human-like interactions with potential customers. Inside the vehicle, Gen AI-driven voice assistants will become standard features in the next decade. Beyond the automotive lifecycle, Gen AI will make a significant contribution towards autonomous vehicle development and operation.
