Watch the Replay of Beyond Human: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Design

With insights from MIT faculty, curators, and industry leaders, the discussion of this panel presented at Design Miami covered AI's impact on design education, creation, and ethics. It examined how AI can enhance human creativity, the challenges of integrating new technologies with traditional practices, and the potential for AI to address social, environmental, and cultural issues, while keeping human intuition central to the design process.

The rapid advance of “thinking machines” is having an impact on seemingly everything — art and architecture, cinema and cities, medicine and manufacturing. What about design?

In this expert panel, organized in partnership with MIT, we heard from specialists in the field about the latest developments and future prospects of AI and design.

How is AI extending the capabilities of human designers? Are there some areas where it will replace them? What are the possible dangers and benefits?
