The design industry is yet another area where AI is making huge strides. Just recently, an AI tool pulled from a database of dozens of patterns and colours to create 7 million unique packaging designs for Nutella. Let's take a closer look at how artificial intelligence is shaping the future of design. In addition to generating its own designs–as it did for Nutella–AI is the driving force behind modern web design. Artificial design intelligence (ADI) systems are democratising website development, generating functional, attractive websites from the bottom up.

Machine learning is everywhere these days, powering the services, products, and interfaces that all of us use every day. Yet many designers and organizations are still on the sidelines without a clear vision of how to work with this technology. Fact is, there's a critical role for design in the era of the algorithm--and your organization almost certainly has what it needs to jump in today. I've been bringing that message home to client companies as we work together to craft products powered by machine learning. But more and more, I've also been bringing these perspectives and techniques to stages and workshops around the world.

The new paradigm of design calls for "design of artifacts, environments and systems" that respond to our thoughts, voices, movements and glances. The field of Interaction Design was realized to help understand how humans will interact and operate on computers. This has now led to everything being crunched into a rectangle screen and a central unit empowered to compute, creating self-knit personalities. Zero UI might remove this disconnect between humans, maintaining the human-computer interaction.

Designing a building, developing a constructible model from a design or working out how to go about constructing a complicated model are all tasks that already contain some degree of automation. So when researchers and others in the architectural, engineering and construction world start talking about bringing artificial intelligence into the mix, many say it's already here. But recent advances in generative design, safety analysis and 5D scheduling are only the first hints of what sophisticated algorithms and deep-learning AI can bring to construction. Getting smart algorithms and other AI-derived technologies onto the project team may not be as far-fetched an idea as it once was. But rather than having a computer that takes over the existing job duties of an architect or engineer, those professions may soon have some form of AI-based assistant offering options and providing clarifications all along the way.
