Abstract

 AI is a fast-emerging field and is becoming an essential part of our future.
Recently, most of used technologies are somewhat artificially intelligent, where it
still needs human involvement to carry out the main part of the task. AI has a
significant impact on multiple fields and industries, like IT, cybersecurity, medicine,
and manufacturing since it provides them with countless creative opportunities.
Compared to the mentioned fields, the development of AI in Architecture is still
not commonly used. The dominant idea related to Architecture is that designers
will be replaced by smart robots to create art and design buildings. But on the
contrary, the open-ended creative results are still preserved for humans only. AI
can do endless tasks during Architecture design process requiring human
intelligence such as decision-making. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the role,
advantages, and disadvantages of this technology within the design process from
the viewpoint of professionals. Consequently, a Questionnaire will be held to
several Professional Designers, Architects, and Researchers, then a summary of
their responses will be reported in this article. The aim is to recognize how AI
techniques can affect the Architect`s attitude to the design project.
