I agree that automation seen as a design and production tool tends to enslave as much as liberate humans. Its stunningly beautiful results can be seductive, but need to address the bigger social, cultural and political issues that reside in both the architecture and urban planning disciplines, as well as in society-at-large. And our scope of responsibility is not only the whole planet, but also the less-advantaged countries to which we owe a debt. With the biggest per capita footprints, we need to use AI and digi-design and fabrication to solve problems, not just titillate the imagination.
