• Title: Guru, Partner, or Pencil Sharpener? Understanding Designers' Attitudes Towards Intelligent Creativity Support Tools
• Authors: Angus Main, Mick Grierson
• Abstract summary: Creativity Support Tools (CST) aim to enhance human creativity, but the deeply personal and subjective nature of creativity makes the design of universal support tools challenging. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques could provide a means of creating 'intelligent' CST which learn and adapt to personal styles of creativity. This paper details the results of a survey of professional designers which indicates a positive and pragmatic attitude towards collaborating with AI tools.

• Abstract: Creativity Support Tools (CST) aim to enhance human creativity, but the deeply personal and subjective nature of creativity makes the design of universal support tools challenging. Individuals develop personal approaches to creativity, particularly in the context of commercial design where signature styles and techniques are valuable commodities. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques could provide a means of creating 'intelligent' CST which learn and adapt to personal styles of creativity. Identifying what kind of role such tools could play in the design process requires a better understanding of designers' attitudes towards working with AI, and their willingness to include it in their personal creative process. This paper details the results of a survey of professional designers which indicates a positive and pragmatic attitude towards collaborating with AI tools, and a particular opportunity for incorporating them in the research stages of a design project.

• Empowering Clients: Transformation of Design Processes Due to Generative AI [1.4003044924094596]
  The study reveals that AI can disrupt the ideation phase by enabling clients to engage in the design process through rapid visualization of their own ideas. Our study shows that while AI can provide valuable feedback on designs, it might fail to generate such designs, allowing for interesting connections to foundations in computer science. Our study also reveals that there is uncertainty among architects about the interpretative sovereignty of architecture and loss of meaning and identity when AI increasingly takes over authorship in the design process.
