AI & the future of this role
While AI can assist in teaching technical aspects of architecture (e.g., design software or structural principles), the role requires mentorship, subjective evaluation of creative work, and adaptation to student needs—areas where human judgment and interpersonal skills remain superior. Research components also involve nuanced theoretical and contextual analysis that AI cannot fully replicate.
