Abstract This study reframes artificial intelligence (AI) not as a replacement for human judgment, but as a collaborative support system in public architectural design competitions. To address procedural opacity and cognitive bias in existing evaluation systems, a data-driven and record-centered framework for Human-AI collaboration is proposed. Drawing on insights from behavioral decision research and contemporary AI governance frameworks, the study develops a process model that includes data quality management, visualization of evaluative reasoning, the controlled integration of multimodal indicators, and lifecycle risk management procedures. International frameworks, including the European Union AI Act, the National Institute of Standards and Technology AI Risk Management Framework, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development AI Principles, are referenced to ensure legal, ethical, and institutional coherence. Rather than claiming empirical performance gains, the proposed model aims to strengthen procedural fairness by structuring evidence, improving transparency, and reinforcing institutional trust in public architectural design competitions. Ultimately, AI is positioned not as an autonomous decision-maker, but as an institutional mechanism that enhances procedural fairness in architectural evaluation.
