As Artificial Intelligence continues to evolve rapidly, it’s vital to consider how this will affect the way we experience art, design and other creative subjects – and in turn, the impacts of this on how we should teach our next generation of designers. There has been substantial discussion within the higher education sector on language AI, however the impact of this rapidly evolving technology on learning and teaching in art and design is set to be dramatic and is not yet well explored or understood.
This project involves students and academics working alongside the iconic Liberty Fabrics design studio, investigating the capabilities and limitations of AI. How will it impact the design workflow? And how should teaching and learning in art and design adapt and respond to maximise the benefits from these new tools?
Lead institution: Nottingham Trent University
Partner institutions: Norwich University of the Arts and Chelsea College of Arts, University of the Arts London
The project team will be developing a new design process and teaching methodology, alongside considering how design workflow and Intellectual Property will be affected. They aim to encourage the use of AI in design subjects, whilst providing guidance and support through a tested framework.
