Panel Discussion: Re-Designing Design: the future of the love affair between technology and creativity

This roundtable discussion focuses on re-examining the role, value judgement, human-machine relationship and behavioural logic of designers in the context of the rapid development of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence has long ceased to be just a tool, and has gradually become a co-creator, collaborator, and even an agent for some decisions in the design process. It frees designers from repetitive labour and is reshaping the boundaries and value of creativity. In this era dominated by generative intelligence, how can designers redefine the role of ‘human’?

1. What has AI brought to designers?

2. What ‘Human-Centred ’ or ‘User-Centred ’ design means in the AI-driven age

3. Interaction design is not a new idea. How will the rampant growth of machine intelligence affect human behaviour?
