Zaha Hadid Architects is using AI text-to-image generators like DALL-E 2 and Midjourney to come up with design ideas for projects, studio principal Patrik Schumacher has revealed.
At a recent roundtable discussion on how artificial intelligence (AI) could change design, Schumacher delivered a presentation about Zaha Hadid Architects ' (ZHA) use of image-generating technology.
Schumacher criticised calls for a moratorium on the development of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4, a chatbot by DALL-E 2 creator OpenAI.
An open letter warning that such systems pose "profound risks to society and humanity" was signed by Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak among other prominent tech industry figures.
"I plead on taking a little bit more risk for the sake of reward and investment on many levels," said Schumacher.
"So I'm not somebody who wants to have a moratorium on AI research. All these kind of heartbreaks or political – some kind of worries coming in and blocking things and stopping things, I think that would be the catastrophe."

risk in admitting that his firm uses AI in early stage development for multi-million dollar projects?
or maybe he is saying that just the fact that other business leaders and politicians are claiming risks, it is a risk for him to take the contrarian view?

Risk to let A.I. ride without regulation? I don't think Chat GPT is risky, I think people are jealous that something is smarter than they are and don't want to lose their jobs (spoiler alert).
Maybe so but like computers some jobs will b close and others will open it is soon to tell let us talk after 50 years....
yes, and fear of change, progress, new ideas. and of course it is important for people to be in the middle of controversy - they get clicks, sound cool, try to control the narrative.
