Why it matters: The Impact of AI on Architecture Careers explores how AI is reshaping roles, tools, and design processes.
Humans naturally learn by making connections between sight and sound. For instance, we can watch someone playing the cello and recognize that the cellist’s movements are generating the music we hear. A new approach developed by researchers from MIT and elsewhere improves an AI model’s ability to learn in this same fashion. This could be…
