AI and I
Designing with artificial intelligence?

We have noticed that algorithmic systems, machine learning programs and large language models are increasingly being used in design processes. Text to Everything.

In the coming semester, we ask ourselves: how do we find this? How do we reflect on the use of "AI" tools in our design processes? What positive contribution do they make? What do we achieve? And at what cost do we use AI - ecologically, economically and, above all, on a creative and technical level?

We are taking a close look at this. We examine established systems, explore the possibilities of new applications and check whether and how the design processes and project results change when we use the programs intensively at different points in the design process.

And we design critically. Through design work on specific products and services, we take positions that we will put up for discussion at the annual exhibition. Along which product categories can we make good use of AI? And which product types are suitable as a medium for critically reflecting on AI as a design tool?
