FORUM2: CONTRACT

As professionals in the building industry, do you feel that your role may one day be further reduced or taken over by AI (artificial intelligence) or any other advance software? In the future, laws may change and local authorities could even take over the submission and design process themselves. Could this happen? How can we ensure our role remains relevant and how can we improve our services to clients in the next 20 years?

Artificial intelligence has been in full swing in recent years and is penetrating more and more into all aspects of life, but it also poses many challenges that need to be addressed in the future in order to maximize the benefits of AI for human society while ensuring the subjectivity and dominance of humans over AI.

At the beginning of the forum I really thought that AI could really replace us designers, because I knew that the knowledge base of AI systems is constantly modifiable, expandable and updateable. Moreover, AI is "a machine that can use human thinking or perception". If you input the design that the customer wants, you can get countless types of designs. For designers, there is always some anxiety that they may be replaced by AI, which will conceive, design and present ideas. It's like sometimes it feels like what you learn will soon be replaced by AI.

During the forum discussion I also started to feel that in fact AI can be our best partner. Because the development and advancement of technology is inevitable, even for designers who do creative work However, it is undeniable that humans are an evolving species. As AI continues to change and influence the way we design, our role will change as well. The issue now is to see AI less as a threat and more as a partner that helps us expand our problem-solving capabilities. It's like my classmate said about creating an AI that can generate designs in a short amount of time based on the client's preferences. Wouldn't that make it easier for us and save more time at the same time?

Maybe in the future, instead of making perspective drawings, drafts and furniture selections, we will move to developing these AI software to fit our company's design approach. We'll have to deal with clients, construction management, and getting the right data into AI, but we'll no longer have to spend time doing tedious 3d and drafting

Finally, while AI offers many advantages for interior design, it cannot replace the creativity and expertise of human designers. AI should be seen as a valuable tool that can augment and support designers, help interior designers in their creative endeavors, and enable them to deliver an exceptional and personalized design experience. Therefore, the human element, intuition and artistic sensibility will remain essential in the field of interior design. So I believe that in the future designers will be able to work with IA to create smarter and faster work. Collaboration between humans and IA will accomplish things that previously could not be done alone
