Lange\, Associate Professor (Teaching)\, Faculty of Architecture\, HKU\nFacilitator: Dr. Tris Kee\, Senior Lecturer\, TALIC\, HKU\nVideo Recording\n\nAbstract\nIn the past years\, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged at light speed as a powerful new tool. In spring 2022\, extraordinary visual representations in mind-blowing photorealism began to occur via social media.
