What happens when an ex-Harvard professor of parametric design lives in Shanghai for 8 years, bridging the gap between ancient Greek philosophy and oriental wisdom?

In this mind-expanding conversation, Professor Kostas Terzidis (currently AI Design Professor at Tongji University) dives deep into the true essence of artificial intelligence, design, and human creativity. Rather than just using tools or playing by existing rules, Prof. Terzidis argues that the real wisdom lies in making the tools and creating the rules.

We explore:• Why using AI is easy, but "making the making" (the meta-argument) changes everything.• Ancient Chinese myths meets modern robotics: Who takes responsibility when a machine makes its own choice?• The fascinating collision of Greek philosophy (the action of Verbs) and Chinese wisdom (the essence of Nouns).• How translation errors built entire Western philosophical misunderstandings.

Tune in to discover why the future of design isn't about consumed technology, but philosophical creation!
