Artificial intelligence is transforming how we conceive, create, and inhabit the world. Its rapid evolution has reshaped not only design processes but also the social and material relations that structure our everyday environment. These shifts bring extraordinary possibilities for innovation while raising critical questions about ethics, agency, authorship, and justice.
As technology increasingly mediates human experience, how can designers envision more equitable and sustainable futures amid escalating climate and social crises? This seminar brings together scholars and practitioners from different disciplines to explore these urgent questions: How will creativity evolve as intelligent systems become collaborators? What new pedagogical, social, and ecological responsibilities arise in a world driven by automation? What becomes of human intelligence and the status of knowledge? And finally, what does it mean to remain human in an age shaped by artificial imagination?
