Remote Session: Design for People, Design with People
📅 Wednesday, 30 April

Our research points to both challenges and opportunities for using Generative AI to enhance interactive learning, creative exploration, and design accessibility---if integrated thoughtfully with clear policies on ownership, ethics and inclusivity.

We identified a 'computational reification of creativity'---a fundamental shift where designers become more like curators than creators, with creativity focused on refining AI outputs rather than creating personal ideas

On ownership: Junior students view AI outputs as collaborative creations, seniors believe ownership correlates with input effort, while professionals often attribute true ownership to AI developers themselves. These perspectives reveal important tensions in creative work.

We have uncovered a fascinating value system rift between designers, with experience levels shaping how they navigate creativity, ownership, and AI integration.
