Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping the design landscape, bridging computational efficiency with human creativity to revolutionize fields such as architecture, graphic design, and product development. This paper explores AI’s transformative impact, focusing on its ability to enhance productivity, foster innovation, and personalize user experiences. Objectives include identifying the benefits of AI-driven tools, analyzing their applications across domains such as architecture, graphic design, and product development, and evaluating ethical concerns related to AI in design. The research adopts a qualitative approach, to examine AI’s role as a creative collaborator and its implications for design methodologies. Results reveal that AI optimizes design iterations, accelerates prototyping, and democratizes access to high-quality resources, making design processes more inclusive and efficient. Findings also highlight ethical concerns, such as bias in AI systems and intellectual property disputes, which require balanced and responsible integration strategies. AI serves as a creative collaborator, enhancing ideation and prototyping processes. Despite its benefits, AI integration raises ethical concerns, including data bias, intellectual property disputes, and potential job displacement. These challenges necessitate equitable frameworks to ensure inclusive and responsible AI use. The future of AI in design promises even greater innovation with emerging technologies like augmented reality and the metaverse, fostering collaborative human-machine interactions. By embracing AI, designers can expand creative boundaries, producing solutions that are not only functional and visually compelling but also socially and environmentally sustainable. This study underscores the need for balanced integration, ensuring AI complements human ingenuity while redefining creativity in the evolving design landscape.
