Figoli F.A., Mattioli F., Rampino L. Artificial intelligence in the design process: The Impact on Creativity and Team Collaboration

Italy, Milano.: FrancoAngeli, 2022. — 106 p. — ISBN 9788835134640, 8835134641.Основная цель диссертации Фиголи состояла в том, чтобы прояснить, как искусственный интеллект может быть реализован на практике в процессе проектирования, используя его потенциал и помогает дизайнерам понять, как эффективно с ним взаимодействовать.The main aim of Figoli’s thesis was to clarify how artificial intelli gence can be implemented in practice in the design process, exploiting its potential and helping designers understand how to cooperate effi ciently with it. To this end, first, an extensive literature review on the new human-machine relationship was performed. Then, a workshop was organized, where sixteen participants were asked to design a sim ple object with the support of different tools based on artificial intelli gence.
The book describes the results of this research activity. Firstly, it outlines the state-of-the-art of design, with a focus on collaboration, and describes artificial intelligence’s main features. Then, it illustrates how this technology can impact the design process, particularly in the early stages. Finally, it focuses on the consequences of introducing ar tificial intelligence within human design teams, especially for human trust and creativity.
The book discusses how to include artificial intelligence (AI) systems in the early stages of the design process. Today designers need new tools capable of supporting them in dealing with the increasing project’s complexity and empowering their performances and capabilities. AI systems appear to be powerful means to enhance designers’ creativity. This assumption was tested in a workshop where sixteen participants collaborated with three AI systems throughout the creative phases of research, sketching, and color selection. Results show that designers can access a broader level of variance and inspiration while reducing the risk of fossilization by triggering lateral thinking through AI-generated data. Therefore, AI could significantly impact the creative phases of the design process if applied consciously. Being AI systems intelligent agents, the book treats the Human-AI collaboration as a collaboration between human agents, proposing a set of guidelines helpful to achieving an efficient partnership with the machine.Why Design and Artificial Intelligence should join Forces.
