“…When it comes to AI, "in 2016, Google in the US developed the artificial intelligence (AI) applied in the field of graphic design" [18] (p. 2) called Alpha GD, which Wu Shan perceives as "a great threat to people engaged in graphic design" [18] (p. 2). Professor Duc Truong Pham notes "that there is a wide range of techniques which are capable of enhancing traditional CAD systems with advanced reasoning abilities thus increasing their prospect of being tools for intelligent design" [19] (p. 24). These include, among others: deep knowledge, non-monotonic, qualitative and geometric reasoning, uncertainty handling, and object-oriented representation [19] (pp.…”

Architects are required to have knowledge of current legislation, ergonomics, and the latest technical solutions. In addition, the design process necessitates an appreciation of the quality of the space and a high degree of creativity. However, it is a profession that has undergone significant changes in recent years due to the pressure exerted by the development of information technology. The designs generated by computer algorithms are becoming such a serious part of designers’ work that some are beginning to question whether they are more the work of computers than humans. There are also increasing suggestions that software development will eventually lead to a situation where humans in the profession will become redundant. This review article aims to present the currently used, implemented, and planned computer technologies employed in the design and consider how they affect and will affect the work of architects in the future. It includes opinions of a wide range of experts on the possibility of computer algorithms replacing architects. The ultimate goal of the article is an attempt to answer the question: will computers eliminate the human factor in the design of the future? It also considers the artificial intelligence or communication skills that computer algorithms would require to achieve this goal. The answers to these questions will contribute not only to determining the future of architecture but will also indicate the current condition of the profession. They will also help us to understand the technologies that are making computers capable of increasingly replacing human professions. Despite differing opinions on the possibility of computer algorithms replacing architects, the conclusions indicate that, currently, computers do not have capabilities and skills to achieve this goal. The speed of technological development, especially such technologies as artificial superintelligence, artificial brains, or quantum computers allows us to predict that the replacement of the architect by machines will be unrealistic in coming decades.

“…Research and development of progressive die design automation systems was given a new dimension in the late 1980s and early 1990s when the applications of artificial intelligence techniques in engineering design started to take off~e.g., Chryssolouris & Wright, 1986;Boyle, 1989;Pham & Tacgin, 1991;Tong & Siriam, 1992!. Now, AI techniques in pattern recognition, production rules and frame-based inferencing and reasoning, fuzzy reasoning, feature-based design, etc.…”

The computer-assisted configuration of progressive die is a computationally mixed problem. This paper describes the progressive die design problem and reviews some existing research related to the configuration of progressive dies. It explains the model-based reasoning approach used to configure the intermediate and final solutions to the design problem. In particular, the various shape representation and spatial reasoning techniques are presented. Finally, a computer software architecture for the die design system is presented.

“…Unfortunately, most emphasis is placed on how information should be presented in computer applications and not on what information should be presented. The literature described many computer design tools that have been developed to aid design teams, however, the reasoning behind the content of Volume 3 the information they present is not discussed [10][11][12][13]. This lack of a cited theoretical basis and a desire to validate and possibly alter the HOQ representation spearheaded the experimentation undertaken to define the informational needs of design teams for product definition.…”

An experiment was conducted to determine how to best represent the information that is used by designers during the product definition process—the first step in the product realization process A real-time protocol session between a design engineer and a customer was recorded while they developed product requirements for a new bass-drum pedal From this session, a base-line representation was developed Three additional protocol sessions were recorded to test the base-line representation during which three other engineers designed products where the definition information was presented according to the base-line representation Results from this testing yielded a slightly changed representation scheme which is presented in this paper The categories of information within the representation were also arranged based on the priorities of use from the three sessions, and a case example for the new representation is also presented This representation has become the model upon which we are developing a computer environment which serves as a common database for product definition during concurrent development of products
