Is AI really coming for architects' jobs?

In the latest episode of Dezeen Weekly, we discuss a study indicating that architecture is highly exposed to automation and talk about the winner of this year's Pritzker Architecture Prize.
How worried should architects be about large language models taking their jobs? How did the Pritzker Architecture Prize make us look silly this week? And what is "bio-upcycling"?
In this episode, Dezeen features editor Nat Barker and design editor Jennifer Hahn consider a controversial labour impact study by AI company Anthropic.
Also, they reflect on the surprise announcement about this year's Pritzker laureate, Smiljan Radić. Finally, they discuss the news that scientists have managed to produce a Parkinson's drug from waste plastic with the help of bacteria.
