AI, Generative Design and Data Report
RIBA will continue to monitor AI developments and provide expert opinion and guidance about emerging and developing technology and the profession.
An expert advisory group (EAG) has been formed to help steer this work. This group is building on the findings of the RIBA AI survey, presented here, to look at the broader, ethical, professional practice, and competitive implications of the widespread integration of advancing digital technologies within architects’ practice.

“As we confront these challenges, it is essential that we approach AI with a critical yet optimistic mindset, recognising its potential to unlock new possibilities for innovation and creativity in architecture.”
– Muyiwa Oki, RIBA President 2023 – 2025From our Southwest Chair Philip Allsopp
AI, generative design systems, data science and the field of system dynamics make it entirely possible for architects to take leadership roles in urban policy deliberations rather than being left out of the picture until a developer has been given permission to build something within prescribed zoning rules. Such leadership roles are attainable if architects engage in the creation of digital models of cities that go well beyond BIM systems and reach into the human, social, economic, mobility and environmental dynamics that drive sustainable livability, better health outcomes, economic opportunity and prosperity.
