culture or community the space serves,’ believes Williams. Hassan Abdelsalam adds: ‘Empathy, user understanding, and cultural sensitivity are vital in architecture. Tese stem from human experiences that even advanced machines cannot fully emulate.’ Or, as Georgina McDonald from Space10 announced, during a collaboration with Ikea and Panter & Tourron trying to get AI to design a fold-up sofa: ‘A machine hasn’t sat on a couch before. It hasn’t cried on a couch


before. It doesn’t know what it feels like, so it could only take us so far.’


You might think that one advantage of AI would be its very lack of human biases, but sadly not. AI automatically picks high- quality images to train on, which tend to be US sources rather than, say, African or Islamic ones, so whole schools of architecture are absent from its ‘brain’, while poor programming can produce startling racism. Scientist Fábio Duarte was horrified by the
