AI is everywhere. That is a given. Whether it is a revolution or a hype? No one can predict the future, but it is crystal clear that AI is also having a strong impact on the layout and design of our working environment. And that will not change in the future. AI has the potential to take workplaces to a whole new level.

Smart offices are the new norm

One of the most tangible consequences of AI in office design is the emergence of smart offices. Using AI and the Internet of Things (IoT), offices today are equipped with sensors and smart devices that communicate with each other and continuously collect data. The benefits?

• Temperature and lighting are automatically adjusted based on employee attendance and preferences.
• Real-time availability of meeting rooms is displayed and employees can easily book online.

And so there are many more. Step by step, workplaces are optimised to be more comfortable, energy-efficient and productive. AI succeeds in increasing employee comfort and reducing unnecessary use of spaces and resources.

Personalised work experiences

Besides creating smart offices, AI makes it possible to create personalised work experiences. AI can analyse individual preferences and behaviours to adapt workplaces to each employee’s needs.

Think of adjustments such as desks that automatically adjust to the employee’s preference to sit or stand. AI also helps companies get a better overview of employees’ needs. For example, stress levels can be better detected.

All these contribute to a personalised work experience and increase the well-being, satisfaction and productivity of every employee.

More efficient use of space

Planning your office space as efficiently as possible? Using data analysis, AI provides insight into which rooms are used most and which are less frequently visited. Making optimal use of space and saving on rental and operational costs thus becomes possible.

Moreover, AI-powered analytics can lead to smart office redesigns, adapting the layout to the current needs of employees. If analyses show a need for better collaboration and communication, a more open and flexible office layout could be the solution.

So AI definitely has potential to take our current workplaces to a new level. It brings a lot of benefits, but of course some caution remains important. Our tip for companies? Always start from the employees and human interaction. AI is there to support them, not replace them.
