The Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts is hosting the second annual AI + Design symposium, “Learning from AI.” This event provides a unique opportunity for both students and faculty to delve into the intersections of artificial intelligence and design. Panel discussions will address the creative design process and machine-augmented vision, focusing on understanding how perspective gained from AI can impact and influence creative practices.

The symposium raises a crucial question: What perspectives has AI offered on design itself? Drawing a parallel to Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown’s exploration of the changing role of architecture in Las Vegas amid a transforming built environment, we can now turn to new AI systems for insights into ongoing transformations. The symposium invites architects, artists, and designers working with AI to share their experiences and speculate on how they envision artificial intelligence shaping the future of design.

Presented by the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts sessions will take place in Weil Hall and are open to the WashU community.
