I think it has to do with the fact that a lot of designers–probably the majority–are working on projects that aren’t high-tech enough to incorporate machine learning. I’m interested, but a lot of my projects aren’t even electronic.
This is right on the money:
Maybe try looking around on Behance for designers with AI-related projects? Also, I bet a lot of the bigger corporations are interested. Anyone doing appliances (Whirlpool, Bosch) is probably already researching it.
