Gazing into the AI crystal ball
A futuristic perspective on design trends (2023–2035)
In this article, we look into the transformative power of AI in predicting design trends. It’s an intriguing journey for me, stepping into the shoes of an AI-empowered futurist designer. Drawing on our earlier experiments with ChatGPT and fashion design (see part I), we’ve seen how it inspires, and provides designers with insights for future design roles. Let’s engage in a discussion about the future of design in the comment section below.
The design landscape is shifting and changing rapidly in line with the recent AI developments, and much faster than one can anticipate. The approach of using AI to predict future trends allows designers to anticipate emerging trends, helping us understand our future role in society. The predictions are based on previous design cycles, and what ChatGPT is trained on until September 2021, in case it doesn’t know I will provide it with context. All of this I will refer to as the “AI crystal ball”. Together, working as a futurology team, we will uncover the future of design.
