Abstract

At present, artificial intelligence (AI) is the hottest topic in the design field, many AI design application systems that already exist and have begun to replace the designer in the initial stage of design work. In this era of intelligence, the design activities of man-computer symbiosis have become mainstream, requiring designers to reflect on themselves and to re-position their role in design activities. This research refers to previous research and literature on man-computer symbiosis design activity, combining earlier findings with the author’s observations and analysis of common practices in the design profession. It examines existing AI design application system cases, and it synthesizes the role position and scope of work for existing AI design application systems and designers. Finally, it combines the “Double Diamond Design Process Model” to find a collaboration mode between designers and AI design application systems in the design activities of man-computer symbiosis.
