人工智能时代的设计

DESIGN IN THE AGE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

人工智能在我们的生活中扮演着越来越重要的角色,但它会对设计专业带来何种影响？它会形成一种新的设计风格吗？或者,人工智能仅能辅助设计,还是会颠覆设计？通过定义不同形式的人工智能并展示三位设计师及团队的相关设计成果,本文试图对人工智能的潜力发起讨论。作者认为,人工智能不会创造新的设计风格;但其对设计过程影响深远。这或许将迫使我们反思许多广为设计界所接受的真理信条。某些传统术语（例如,＂设计＂这一概念以及对于＂设计＂这一行为的认识）可能会被＂搜索＂和＂结果＂等一批新术语所取代。更重要的是,对于＂艺术天赋＂的迷思可能也会被打破。本文并非意在指出人工智能强烈的＂人工性＂,而是旨在点明我们对人类智能的理解已深陷误区。

Artificial Intelligence is playing an everincreasing role in our lives, but what impacts might it have on the design professions？ Will it introduce a new style？ Or will it just help to improve the design process？ Or will it have a completely different impact？ This article attempts to offer an overview of the potential of Artificial Intelligence, defining the different forms of Artificial Intelligence, and illustrating its argument with the work of three designers.It argues that Artificial Intelligence will not generate a new style. However, it will have a radical input on the process of designing. It is also likely to force us to call into question many accepted beliefs within the design community.Certain traditional terms, such as the concept of a ＂design＂ and the very notion of ＂designing,＂are likely to be replaced by a new lexicon that includes terms such as ＂searching＂ and＂outcomes.＂ But, more importantly, the whole myth of the ＂artistic genius＂ is likely to be also called into question. What Artificial Intelligence tells us, as the paper concludes, is not how＂artificial＂ Artificial Intelligence is, but rather how misguided our own understanding of human intelligence has been.
