Artificial intelligence, or by its more familiar name AI (the acronym for Artificial Intelligence) deals with the creation of computer systems with human-like intellectual abilities, such as learning, thinking, solving problems and making decisions independently.
Not many know, but research in the field of artificial intelligence began as early as the 50s of the last century, but only in recent years has this field experienced significant progress, thanks to the development of more powerful hardware components, as well as advanced machine learning techniques, which brought this field to the consciousness of Many - which became almost absolute with the latest development of Chat GPT known to all of us.
Today, artificial intelligence is used by us in a wide and diverse range of unique and day-to-day fields and sectors, from space research to medicine, industry, defense, as well as in the fields of construction, planning and interior design, which the article will deal with.
How does AI influence and influence the field of planning and interior design?
Inbal Timur and Dana Kalmanovitz, interior designers with 20 years of experience and owners of an interior design office in Tel Aviv, explain.
something new is starting
Artificial intelligence has been gaining momentum in recent years in the world of planning and interior design, and affects it in various ways: streamlining the planning and design processes by automating repetitive tasks, helping to manage projects efficiently, monitoring project progress, budget management and communication with clients and suppliers.
Also, artificial intelligence-driven software can perform complex engineering calculations, load calculations, safety, natural and artificial lighting engineering and assist in safe and stable planning.
Through such software it is possible to improve the process of creating the customized design, through the focus of the project by entering the program, personal preferences and budget, as well as the process of creating inspiration panels adapted to the program in terms of material and color.
Artificial intelligence can also help improve and develop other innovative technologies in the field of planning and interior design, such as augmented reality, virtual reality, rapid execution of simulations and personalization.
For example: entering a shell space and with the help of state-of-the-art technological equipment, simulating the space, the design, transitions and space in real time inside the shell space;
Creating realistic 3D simulations of interior designs faster and more efficiently than traditional methods.
Here is the place to emphasize - the word AI has become a very trendy word.
Not every automated process is AI.
Always ask yourself - does the computer think for us and return a result?
If the answer is yes, then there is artificial intelligence here.
Do designers and architects have anything to fear?
As this fascinating world evolves, there is a sense that designers and architects are afraid of artificial intelligence, pushing it away instead of learning how to embrace it.
The question arises: Will it soon be able to replace our work as interior designers?
Today, at every professional meeting there will be a lecture on the world of artificial intelligence.
Designers fill the halls in order to understand where technology is pulling us, this technological leap creates a lot of fear in quite a few designers.
The rising concerns:
job loss
- artificial intelligence easily and quickly performs many tasks currently performed by designers.
The fear is that artificial intelligence could lead to unemployment among designers, or to a reduction in their wages;
Damage to creativity
- designers believe that their creativity is what sets them apart from other designers.
They fear that artificial intelligence will be able to create designs that are just as successful, or even better, than those created by a human designer;
Fear of losing contact with the client
- many designers believe that the contact with the client makes their work satisfying.
The fear that artificial intelligence will replace the human process of understanding the needs and desires of the customer.

In practice, it is important to note that these concerns are not necessarily based on reality.
Artificial intelligence is still in its infancy, it is far from being able to perform all the tasks currently performed by designers.
There are things that artificial intelligence will probably (hopefully) not be able to replace a flesh-and-blood professional.
Artificial intelligence does not understand human emotions.
She can recognize emotions, but is unable to analyze them and their meaning and certainly not express them back to the client.
Therefore, there is no substitute for the designers' human relationship with their clients.
After all, home is the place where we want to feel the most comfortable in the world.
Beyond objects that meet our needs, it also contains our emotions.
In addition, artificial intelligence is not capable of creating trust.
Trust is built on time, familiarity and shared experiences.
Artificial intelligence is limited in analyzing its creativity in accordance with the client, but additional knowledge and experience in various fields are required in order to make a precise adjustment to the individual client's needs - which are influenced by his lifestyle, country, religion, lifestyle and more.
In conclusion, artificial intelligence can be a tool for more successful and accurate design according to trends and other exact sciences, but cannot replace the human connection between the designer who looks into the customer's eyes and hears the tone of his words.
Make limoncello from the lemon
The necessary step for designers and architects who want to advance and succeed in the contemporary world - is to adopt artificial intelligence to shape and develop their technological knowledge, in order to enrich the flight and exposure to global planning.
Currently, there are several new technologies that allow creating realistic simulations in artificial intelligence (most programs will create general and abstract simulations that are not realistic).
For example, the Ray tracing technology allows to create simulations with realistic lighting, and the Virtual reality technology allows customers to experience the design in a more realistic way.
In addition, there are software programs that allow you to add design-specific items to the visualization, such as furniture and art.
Ultimately, AI can be a very effective tool for designers.
We believe that with the development of this technology, there will also be a transformation in the level of professionalism, the relationship with the client and the accuracy of the designer's work.
The possible effects of artificial intelligence will develop awareness, professionalism and quality among the professionals, who do not want to be left behind.
Until recently it was said that the number of designers is developing mediocrity in the design industry.
From now on, with the introduction of new and groundbreaking technologies, every designer will be required to develop new skills that will enable integration in the developing industry.
This, in addition to developing more powerful personal relationships with customers, in order to emphasize the advantages of the human person over the artificial intelligence, as well as creating collaborations between teams in order to "overcome" the capabilities of the artificial intelligence and bring new and improved qualities for the customers.
