Creative Lesson Introduction: Exploring Artificial Intelligence in Design and Technology

Welcome to the Future

As our world rapidly evolves, so does the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various sectors, especially design and technology. To kick off our exploration of this fascinating topic, let's take a moment to envision a future shaped by AI.

Imagine This Scenario

Picture this: It’s the year 2030. You walk into a design studio. The walls are lined with vibrant screens displaying dynamic designs that change based on mood, climate, or even the day's trending colors. In one corner, a collaborative robot (cobot) is sketching out preliminary ideas based on your verbal prompts. Meanwhile, another AI is analyzing user data to suggest designs that resonate with target demographics.

Reflective Questions

1. What emotions does this future evoke for you?
2. How do you feel about collaborating with AI in your design process?
3. What ethical considerations may arise from this technological advancement?

Take a moment to jot down your thoughts on these questions. As we proceed, we will delve deeper into the role of AI in design and technology, examining both its potential and challenges.

Setting the Stage

Throughout today's lesson, we will discuss:

• The fundamentals of AI and machine learning in design contexts
• Real-world applications of AI in design processes
• Key challenges and ethical concerns surrounding AI in technology

Let’s embark on this journey together, exploring how you, as future designers and technologists, can harness the power of Artificial Intelligence in your creative processes!
