Debate rages on the role of artificial intelligence

KUWAIT: The National Council for Culture, Arts, and Letters organized a debate on the role of artificial intelligence in the field of architecture and its effects on the labor market and intellectual property rights. The debate, which was held at the National Library of Kuwait on the occasion of International Architecture Day (the first Monday of October annually), witnessed discussions at five levels between two teams, the first of which included professors of architecture at Kuwait University, Dr Mohammed Al-Ajmi and Dr Rawa Al-Shaheen (two supporters), and engineers Zahra Ashkenani and Aba Salah (two opponents).

The two teams reviewed the first level of the debate, entitled (Rise or Fall) and the extent to which humans accept what is new. In the second level, they reviewed the impact of artificial intelligence on the labor market. In the third debate, they discussed artificial intelligence as a tool that facilitates the work of the designer, while in the fourth, they discussed the creativity of artificial intelligence. The fifth and final debate was about intellectual property in artificial intelligence.

The supporting team stressed the ‘great role’ of artificial intelligence and the need to keep pace with development and enact the necessary legislation to regulate work. He
