As part of the piece, we spoke to New York-based designer Sebastian Errazuriz, who express concern about the impact AI will have on jobs.
“It’s an enormous issue that we need to try and deal with,” he said.
“People always say, ‘but isn’t AI just another tool?’ Right now it looks like a tool, but the tool is getting really good, really fast – and the purpose of this tool is to think for itself.”
July’s Dezeen in Depth also features an opinion piece from David A Banks on how “cities are branding themselves into predictably unique products” and an exclusive interview with Bjarke Ingels, who discusses what it’s like to be one of the world’s best-known architects and the current limitations of AI.
