About This Infographic
Artificial intelligence is reshaping how software is built — but it’s also redefining what architects do.
This infographic summarizes the key takeaways from our article “The Architect’s New Role: How AI Is Changing Software Design Forever.”
Each section explores how automation, AI, and human insight combine to create a new era of enterprise architecture.
What You’ll Learn
This 14-page visual FAQ answers the questions every modern architect is asking:
- How AI changes the architect’s daily responsibilities
