2. Architecture in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: An Introduction to AI for Architects

Great introduction to AI in architecture from Neil Leach. His top ten predictions include;

AI will be on the curriculum for all schools of architecture
Architecture will become intelligent
Cities will be controlled by AI
Facial recognition will mean that we don’t need passports, keys, credit cards or cash
We will communicate with our computers through speech and hand gestures, writing and drawing skills will begin to fade
AI will become indispensable, invisible assistant to all architectural offices, automating the design process
Initial resistance to AI will begin to fade, as AI becomes unavoidable
Clients will insist on their architects using AI
Architects brand themselves in terms of their use of AI
AI will be able to generate customised designs, completely autonomously
