AI is rapidly changing the world around us, and many people are worried that it will lead to widespread job losses. I believe that AI is more likely to automate routine tasks and create new opportunities than it is to replace humans entirely, i.e. AI could create jobs in areas such as data science, machine learning, and LLM development.
Although Prof. Neil Leach compared these advancements to a second Copernicus moment, AI is still in progress and is far from reaching human intelligence or superintelligence given that its capabilities are limited. It still struggles with tasks that require common sense, and its problem-solving skills are not enough.
On the artistic side, it is unlikely that AI will completely replace architects in the foreseeable future. It could certainly help automate tasks such as 3D modeling, but it still lacks the creativity, and will certainly struggle to understand the needs of clients, interpret complex regulations, and design structures that are both aesthetically pleasing and functionally sound.
