Love robots + UI: The role of AI in the design industry

The idea of creating a machine that can mimic human intelligence is a mainstay in the field of technology. We have already made the jump from "AI" being a movie from the early 2000s to something we take for granted as it sets our alarms for us on our iPhones. However, contrary to what we may believe, AI is still in a nascent space, and there are still some ways to go with regards to robots completely taking over the design industry. While humans spend a lot of time thinking out design solutions through a more hybrid creative/logical thought process, AI is a hyper-logical system of decisions that lead to largely predictable goals. That being said, AI presents a set of possibilities for designers (still human) in making more informed, if not sophisticated decisions.
