Computers seem to be more reliable and accurate in running algorithm and doing assessment compared to human for the reason that computers are programmed to process numerous "if this"-"then that" scenarios, while human being have this innate limitation in processing multiple criteria and "what if" Scenarios; a dozen criteria and handful of scenarios and most feel this is all that is there which was needed. Until computers completely master the art of attribute selection and scenario building themselves and learn to take judgmental decision on their own, their assessment and outcome shall also be limited as they are still being programmed by very human being having prejudice and limitations of many kinds.
To illustrate, while deliberating with individual client or
a family to design their dream home, how many architects for instance consider the sun sign traits of
client, inquire about their past, their medical history, their travel history,
their bucket list, their life philosophy, their spiritual inclination, musical
preferences, cultural orientation, their sensitivity towards light, their daily
routine, sleeping pattern, their food habit, their environmental commitments
and children's future aspirations, child's favorite game and comic character,
their idea of space and scale etc.
Unfortunately most of these variables are purposefully or by conditioning or
out of hesitation being missed out during client's need assessment, but all or
any of these can add immense value to architectural design process and outcome.
If architects won't ask, client won't tell, then without considering such
variables which are integral to one's life and true personality, how will
architects produce truly personalised,
holistic and humane design for example.
Likewise, when government is collecting census data or
demographic profile about individuals or households, they really don't find it
worthwhile to ask about individual's hobbies, their skill sets, their unsettled
and future liabilities of various kinds, health issues they are struggling
with, their affiliations, what they are engaged in post retirement, areas in
which they would like to volunteer given a chance, etc. which are equally
tangible and crucial pieces of information and valid criteria of assessment,
having potential to create a better society and conditions.
Capability to acknowledge, consider and process multitude of
criteria and endless possible scenarios is what differentiates one individual
from another, one organization from other, one city administration from other,
one governance scheme from other and sometimes may even one nation from
another.
