| Abstract | ||
| The architectural sector is undergoing a major shift driven by rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI), whose role has expanded from support tasks to active participation in design, analysis, performance prediction, and even creative processes. While AI offers significant opportunities to improve quality and efficiency, it raises ethical and professional concerns, including the absence of clear regulations, limited technical training, privacy and bias risks, and potential impacts on employment. This research explores how to balance AI’s capabilities with ethical and sustainable use by analyzing the awareness and attitudes of architects, academics, and students, and identifying obstacles and opportunities. The methodology combines a descriptive-analytical literature review, a Midjourney case study for urban design in Cairo, and a community-wide survey. Findings show widespread AI use, positive perceptions of its creative potential, high academic awareness, and a consensus on integration rather than replacement, alongside a clear need for stronger training and digital infrastructure. | ||
