Computational Thinking in the Age of AI

July 2026

This session sets out where AI genuinely helps in design work and where it quietly takes something from you - the 90/10 split between the specific tasks AI handles well and the vague, conceptual 10% that cannot be handed over. It draws on tacit knowledge, design control, and the difference between an image that looks correct and one that is. The argument throughout: Computational Thinking is what lets you own the intent, and feed everything after it into AI without losing the design underneath.
