How can we maximize the benefits of AI while minimizing the risks? Is the role of the architect safe from AI?</p> <p>In any conversation about the impact of artificial intelligence on the architectural profession, such questions are at the forefront of many human minds. They are also a sample of the series of questions <a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/2200819/chatgpt" target="_blank">ChatGPT</a> posed to the architect and educator <a href="https://archinect.com/SPAN-arch" target="_blank">Matias del Campo</a>. In a recent experiment for <em>Archinect</em>, the <a href="https://archinect.com/taubmancollege" target="_blank">University of Michigan</a> associate professor and SPAN co-founder switched roles with the popular chatbot to share insights on his background in artificial intelligence and his thoughts on its future application to the design process. The full conversation is republished below.</p> <p><em>This article is part of the&nbsp;<a href="https://archinect.com/news/article/150348101/introducing-the-archinect-in-depth-artificial-intelligence-series" target="_blank">Archinect In-Depth: Artificial Intelligence</a>&nbsp;series.</em><br></p> https://archinect.com/features/article/150326467/you-me-and-dall-e-on-the-relationship-between-architecture-data-and-artificial-intelligence Niall Patrick Walsh 2023-05-01T08:00:00-04:00 >2024-03-01T16:53:14-05:00 <img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/8c/8c67b0ef867015c92dcf85307585fc9c.png?fit=crop&auto=compress%2Cformat&enlarge=true&w=1200" border="0" /><p>Thirty years after the thaw of the last 'AI Winter,' the landscape of <a href="https://archinect.com/features/tag/1136495/artificial-intelligence" target="_blank">artificial intelligence</a> is one of a forest in full bloom. On a weekly basis throughout 2023, new tools have been released taking advantage of the latest advances in machine learning algorithms, while existing software and applications scramble to maintain relevance by incorporating our new AI companions into their interfaces. Architects and designers have also turned their creative energy to investigating how AI-powered image generators can imagine new styles, new experiences, and new worlds, while also exploring how AI chatbots can suggest sustainability strategies, inform fee negotiations, and aid office management.&nbsp;</p> <p>How did this AI forest come to be? Who are its caretakers? How might it continue to grow in the future? What is its relationship to the design and operation of the built environment? In our search for answers, we speak with one expert spanning architectural practice and academia on how designers can...</p>
