Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly significant role in architectural education. This has prompted the formation of this SCOSA AI Working Group, to examine and evaluate how the technology is taught and assessed in our schools. Although AI can often be characterised as a neutral set of computational tools for prediction and generation, its growing role in education - particularly in the creative disciplines - demands critical attention. AI tools demand scrutiny as a catalyst for how we rethink knowledge production and creativity, and negotiate authorship and agency within the architectural design process
