Where Architects Sit in the Era of AI

As AI evolves from tool to collaborator, architects must shift from manual design to meta-design. This article introduces the "Three Loops" framework (In, On, Out) to help navigate this transition. It explores how to balance oversight with delegation, mitigate risks like skill atrophy, and design the governance structures that keep AI-augmented systems safe and aligned with human intent.
