• Title: The Future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in Landscape Design: A Case Study in Coastal Virginia, USA
• Authors: Zihao Zhang and Ben Bowes
• Abstract summary: This paper presents a case that uses machine learning techniques to predict variables in a coastal environment. Drawing ideas from posthumanism, this paper argues that, to truly understand the cybernetic environment, we have to take on posthumanist ethics and overcome human exceptionalism.

• Abstract: There have been theory-based endeavours that directly engage with AI and ML in the landscape discipline. By presenting a case that uses machine learning techniques to predict variables in a coastal environment, this paper provides empirical evidence of the forthcoming cybernetic environment, in which designers are conceptualized not as authors but as choreographers, catalyst agents, and conductors among many other intelligent agents. Drawing ideas from posthumanism, this paper argues that, to truly understand the cybernetic environment, we have to take on posthumanist ethics and overcome human exceptionalism.

  We argue that a fruitful direction for research is engaging large language models in behavioral experiments inspired by psychology. We highlight theoretical perspectives, experimental paradigms, and computational analysis techniques that this approach brings to the table. It paves the way for a "machine psychology" for generative artificial intelligence (AI) that goes beyond performance benchmarks.

  We propose a classification of the creative system with a hierarchy of 5 classes, showing the pathway of creativity evolving from a mimic-human artist to a Machine artist in its own right. In art creation, it is necessary for machines to understand humans' mental states, including desires, appreciation, and emotions, humans also need to understand machines' creative capabilities and limitations. We propose a novel framework for building future Machine artists, which comes with the philosophy that a human-compatible AI system should be based on the "human-in-the-loop" principle.
