AI and Design – Artefact Stories

We recently spoke to FastCo Design about how design jobs would evolve. The article included excerpts from Rob Girling's exploration on how Artificial Intelligence will impact design. Would it replace or augment human capabilities? In the last few months, I have been thinking a lot about how AI will impact our future as individuals, as designers and society. A very simple way to examine if AI algorithms will displace designers (or any profession) is to understand the degree to which that occupation can be easily codified or reduced to a set of reliable patterns, steps or models.
