Tool or Takedown? A.I. in Landscape Architecture

Host Forrestt Williams sat down with Land F/X CEO Jeremiah Farmer to discuss the present and potential roles played by A.I. in the landscape architecture world. While acknowledging the fears surrounding A.I. – some valid and some admittedly far-fetched – the conversation juxtaposed A.I. with the automation of tedious tasks that served as the impetus for the founding of Land F/X. We learned what some power Land F/X users are doing with A.I. in their daily lives, while also hearing about the prospects of workforce reduction and other possible drawbacks expressed by others. Jeremiah made a reassuring case that tech has a long way to go in replacing human designers in the creation of permit-ready sites. Sit down for a nuanced and realistic look at where A.I. might take us, and where it might not.
