Research On Human-AI Collaborative Creativity In Design

Design is an interdisciplinary subject,which is affected by social,economic and technical factors,among which the technical factors play a role in its development process from the beginning.From tools to simple machines,from electrical equipment to computers,new design methods have been born and new design forms have been inspired.With the advent of the era of big data,artificial intelligence has risen again after several cold winters,and has performed well in many design work.However,the current research focus tends to use artificial intelligence to improve design efficiency to achieve quantitative improvement,while ignoring the collaboration between human and artificial intelligence as a new creative way to bring qualitative changes to design.The research addresses this question from four related sub-questions: What is human-AI collaborative creativity? How does human-AI collaborative creativity work?What is the role of human-AI collaborative creativity in design? How to carry out human-AI collaborative creativity in design? Using literature research and case study as theoretical research methods,combined with action research as empirical research methods,the research carried out theoretical and applied research around the concept,framework and types of human-AI collaborative creativity,as well as the attributes,functions,modes and mechanisms of human-AI collaborative creativity in design.The main research contents and conclusions are as follows:(1)The meaning of human-AI collaborative creativity.By tracing back the evolution of the relationship between man and machine and artificial intelligence,this paper reveals the development trend of the human-machine relationship from operation to interaction and then to collaboration.At the same time,it expounds on the connotation of collaborative creativity by combing the basic theories of creative research and collaborative research.Then it expounds on the meaning of human-AI collaborative creativity from three different angles: man-machine relationship,collaborative work and creative activities.Finally,it is defined as the creative way of human thinking system and artificial intelligence system based on creative thinking through different degrees of cooperation.Its purpose is to produce creative ideas that are more original and useful than human creative behavior.(2)The framework and types of human-AI collaborative creativity.Firstly,by analyzing the collaborative creative activities between human and artificial intelligence in creative activities,this paper summarizes the commonalities and defines the basic framework and four elements of human-AI collaborative creativity based on productive science theory.Then,on this basis,taking the collaborative creative way as the starting point,this paper makes a specific analysis of the four elements,and summarizes three collaborative creative ways: dominant collaboration,alternating collaboration and dialogue collaboration;It also expounds on the collaborative creative materials corresponding to each collaborative creative way,that is,the exchange of data,interactive information and the concept of communication;The links in the process of collaborative creativity are analyzed,that is,the divergence,emergence and aggregation of collaborative creativity;The results of collaborative creativity are summarized,that is,optimized creative results,breakthrough creative results and subversive creative results.Finally,by combing the linkage relationship between elements at different levels,three types of human-AI collaborative creativity are summarized,namely perceptual enhanced collaborative creativity,cognitive extended collaborative creativity and experience fusion collaborative creativity.(3)The attribute and function of human-AI collaborative creativity in design.Firstly,it reviews the evolution of the relationship between man,machine and artificial intelligence in design,and expounds on the thinking characteristics and complementary advantages of designers and artificial intelligence;Then,based on the combing Design Science paradigm and Design Inquiry paradigm,it is proposed that the human-AI collaborative creativity in design presents the structure of Design Inquiry paradigm in the overall mode,but has the link of Design Science paradigm in the specific mechanism.It is also proposed that the clarity of design purpose is inversely proportional to the degree of collaboration between human and artificial intelligence,but directly proportional to the degree of coupling.Finally,combined with summarizing the position and role of creativity in design and the challenges faced by design creativity in the data age,it is proposed that human-AI collaborative creativity in design can increase the number of design creativity,enrich the types of design creativity and enhance the originality of design creativity.(4)The mode and mechanism of human-AI collaborative creativity in design.In order to meet the needs and characteristics of creativity in different design orientations,the collaborative creative models at different levels and corresponding mechanisms have been formed by giving full play to the advantages of different collaborative creative types.They are the intention-execution collaborative creativity model and mechanism,the concept-exploration collaborative creativity model and mechanism,the imagination-inspiring collaborative creativity model and mechanism.At the same time,it is pointed out that it is necessary to select the appropriate collaborative creativity mode and mechanism according to different design orientations to give full play to the role of human-AI collaborative creativity and realize greater design value and significance.The article concludes with a speculative and forward-looking perspective,observing the challenges,changes,and future trends in the context of collaborative creativity between humans and artificial intelligence.It discusses the short-term impacts and long-term directions of human-AI collaborative creativity.The innovation of the dissertation is to re-examine the relationship between human and artificial intelligence in the design context.It is different from the general cognition that takes artificial intelligence as a passive tool.But it interprets human and artificial intelligence as a whole that can reflect the design situation together.It provides a new perspective for the research of artificial intelligence and design.Through the construction of the framework and elements of the collaborative creativity of human and artificial intelligence,according to the characteristics of different design orientations,the mode and mechanism of human-AI collaborative creativity in design are summarized,which provides the research idea for researchers and the practical path for designers.
