Machine Learning : Architecture in the age of Artificial Intelligence

‘The advent of machine learning-based AI systems demandsthat our industry does not just share toys, but builds a new sandbox in whichto play with them.’ - Phil Bernstein The profession is changing.

A new era is rapidly approachingwhen computers will not merely be instruments for data creation, manipulationand management, but, empowered by artificial intelligence, they will becomeagents of design themselves.

Architects need a strategy for facing the opportunitiesand threats of these emergent capabilities or risk being left behind. Architecture’s best-known technologist, Phil Bernstein,provides that strategy.

Divided into three key sections – Process,Relationships and Results – Machine Learning lays out an approach foranticipating, understanding and managing a world in which computers oftenaugment, but may well also supplant, knowledge workers like architects.

Armed withthis insight, practices can take full advantage of the new technologies tofuture-proof their business.
