Understanding what Artificial Intelligence is and how it works is an essential first step to appreciating its potential contribution to evidence-based design. If the AI is based, at least in part, on rigorous scholarly research, can it rightly be called evidence and be useful in design? If AI merges multiple research findings to create a consensus document, what becomes of the richness, detail, and potentially contradictory findings in those original pieces of research? This presentation will focus on the potential for AI to influence design, with some thoughts on what to watch for and where to exercise caution.
