Artificial Intelligence has a transformative impact on traditional design principles, forever changing the design mantra: form follows function. Join the Institute of Design at Illinois Tech and Chicago Humanities for a conversation between John Maeda, the Vice President of Design and Artificial Intelligence at the Microsoft Corporation, and Dean of the Institute of Design, Anijo Mathew. This talk illustrates how AI can directly address functional needs and render traditional forms obsolete. Through this lens, these AI experts explore the future of design, where AI not only shapes form but potentially eliminates it. AI is truly ushering in a new paradigm where function dictates existence without the constraints of physical form.
