Use AI to augment design, not replace it

The architecture, engineering, and construction industry is increasingly talking about AI's role in design, but the focus should be on enhancing human creativity rather than fully automating it. While some firms push for complete AI-driven design, this perspective risks removing the human element from the creative process. The author argues for a balanced approach where AI supports and enhances designers’ expertise, maintaining the importance of human intuition and creativity in the field. This perspective is crucial as it ensures that design remains a collaborative and imaginative endeavor rather than a purely technical one.
