A panel discussion among software architects addressing whether AI will replace the architect role. The consensus is that architecture is fundamentally about judgment under uncertainty, accountability, stakeholder management, constraint navigation, and organizational politics — areas where AI currently falls short. Rather than fearing replacement, architects are encouraged to treat AI as a force multiplier: using it to rapidly prototype, generate artifacts, and accelerate research, while retaining ownership and accountability over decisions. The panel warns against blindly copy-pasting AI output and stresses that architects must inject their own judgment, refine AI suggestions, and be transparent about how they use these tools.
