Can AI Build a speaker?

Beyond helping a novice like me better understand how to do this right, I expect AI should be a boon already at this point for even the best and most experienced designers to use anywhere from actual design to as a reference to help refine and validate existing designs.  

That should bubble up to buyers in terms of more higher quality designs for less assuming makes the job faster and more reliable, a safe bet when good engineering and design is already at play. 

Sadly eventually jobs could be at risk once AI is able to do it all from design through implementation and testing, much like other jobs that employ SMEs (subject matter experts).  AI should definitely also help grow SMEs able to use it effectively as a tool with less knowledge needed at the onset.  Interesting stuff!  

The fear is of course it will be abused like a weapon for ill intent as well as used for constructive purposes, so important to be careful about that.  No regulation at all is probably not a good thing.

Try DIYaudio first instead. :) 

AI is only as good as the information that has been put into it.

Now, if you could find an AI bot that has been programmed with all the information from speaker designers, as well as the electrical information, not to mention cabinetry, and resonance, I think it might be something that could give you a good starting point.

AI can be amazing.  AI can also be pathetic....it’s very capable of making significant errors, and it does so with some surprising frequency.  I've had several confused moments with Chat GPT..  (Proceed with caution, but verify!)

NO! I had a friend I saw design speakers using computers. I asked him how done they were before listening. He said 95%. His speakers were good and I saw this process. But behind his use of the computer was 40 years of designing and listening and knowing relationships of design and what he heard. A n AI program never heard even one speaker. So it can do a technically competent design. But all the technology out there doesn't fully describe sound yet. So it probably will design a decent speaker, maybe even a good one but if it's great it's a coincidence.
