<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>With its ability to subvert our perceptions of the world, AI can create images of quirky strangeness and charm, resulting in hyper‐surrealist juxtapositions of form and uncanny beauty. Founding partner of Young &amp; Ayata and Associate Professor at the Cooper Union, New York, <jats:bold>Michael Young</jats:bold> investigates recent output from architect Karel Klein and her collaborators, and speculates on the power of their ‘estrangements’ and the capitalist underbelly of AI.</jats:p>

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Instead of AI systems being foisted on workplaces and workers from the top down via a one‐size‐fits all approach, <jats:bold>Sarah Fox</jats:bold>, director of Carnegie Mellon University's Tech Solidarity Lab, investigates how more participative practices might enable staff to develop equitable workload procedures in conjunction with machine learning systems. How can businesses transform to incorporate AI without the nuances of mass redundancies and human supplication to such processes?</jats:p>

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>One of AI's core abilities is the conjuring up of images that seem familiar to us, based on our individual visual and architectural preoccupations. This splicing of the known with the unknown can create a sense of déjà vu that is both centred and defamiliarised. Italian artist, architect and researcher in visionary architecture <jats:bold>Cesare Battelli</jats:bold> takes us through some of the characters of the past who have utilised such creative tactics.</jats:p>

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>There is more than just human intelligence out there, and we must now get to grips with the end of human uniqueness. Our accelerating dexterity with biology of all sorts, digital software and hardware, pharmacology and a myriad other interventionist or evolutionary technologies is leading to the design of architectures/bodies/ systems that are fundamentally intelligently entangled. Harvard Graduate School of Design's <jats:bold>Andrew Witt</jats:bold> explains this ongoing synthesis and its cultural and social ramifications for today and deeper into tomorrow.</jats:p>

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Delving into the realm of how machine learning is being used to make art, <jats:bold>Matias del Campo</jats:bold> interviews Munich‐based artist Mario Klingemann, who shares with us his modus operandi and aspirations for this new discipline. His work is at once uncanny, defamiliarising and estranging, and not without a hint of bodily violence – a kind of reverse butchery, an assault on the figure by the machine.</jats:p>

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Architecture is a complex web of semiotics – signs, signals and signifiers. The creation of these codes, and their dynamic manipulation and interaction over time, is the lifeblood of experimental architecture practice SPAN's <jats:italic>Doghouse</jats:italic> project. Co‐founder <jats:bold>Sandra Manninger</jats:bold> explains how the project's articulation, robotic inhabitants and fluctuating symbolic meanings and languages create a complex multi‐readable architectural structure and text.</jats:p>

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>AI and its operations might be perceived as series of fields of almost infinite latencies – of possibilities and potential times of dataset flowerings or bloomings – that are programmable but still surprising. Assistant Professor of Architecture at Texas A&amp;M University <jats:bold>Benjamin Ennemoser</jats:bold> and Innsbruck University‐ based architect and researcher <jats:bold>Ingrid Mayrhofer‐Hufnagl</jats:bold> explain this concept, its implications for architectural creativity and our newfound ability to operate in an interstitial, fluid space between matter and bits and bytes.</jats:p>

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>What might a conversation between a highly trained generator that calculates the probability of the next word in a sentence, and the jumbled mess of organic neurons inside the head of a human architect look like? Through such a fictitious dialogue, architectural designer and educator <jats:bold>Ryan Vincent Manning</jats:bold> explores issues of human inquisitiveness, uniqueness and agency, human‐ machine interfaces, machine intelligence, AI latent spaces and the assimilation of design originality into free‐access, ubiquitous machine code that is adding to huge potential datasets.</jats:p>

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>After musing on the history and varying media of the concept of ‘gone viral’, Associate Professor of Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, <jats:bold>Kyle Steinfeld</jats:bold> further investigates computational design through the lens of cultural practices. Even the seemingly most contemporary and innovative technological ideas and gizmos can be traced back to a series of legacy notions that remain silently present in new advances. The article discusses such ‘hinge’ moments and searches for them in AI.</jats:p>

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Since the AI ‘architectural explosion’ of 2022, and as things have become clearer but have not yet settled down, a whole raft of possibilities for creativity and commercial exploration are emerging. Architectural and urban designer <jats:bold>Wanyu He</jats:bold> explains some of these opportunities, and also reminds us of the ethical and societal concerns about this technology – its biases and blindnesses – which must be addressed before these new approaches can be applied equitably.</jats:p>
