In light of technology's heavy-handed influence on design culture, let’s delve into the role of AI knowledge and collective thinking, discussing the opportunities, risks, and concerns of AI.

Starting with Douglas Engelbart's introduction of the "augmented architect" in 1962, through the promises of design computation in the 2000's, to today's role of computational specialist, we're seeing a slow democratization of a lingua franca for the design process. Despite this progression we've yet to realize systemic change in our practices, and even a bit of fear of where this will go. Through topics like adversarial interoperability, protocols as hubs, software commoditization, critiques of popular discussions around generative design, and more importantly human experience and creativity, we'll find our way to discussing what it takes to help manifest the augmented and empathetic architect.
