AI in Human-Centered Design Processes, Dissertation
This dissertation investigates how AI tools can be used to enhance design thinking by improving key processes such as insight collection, data synthesis, and workflow automation. By addressing inefficiencies related to scalability, cost, and cognitive limitations, AI offers new ways to support human creativity and decision-making. The study also considers the broader implications of AI integration in design, including its impact on job roles, ethical considerations, and shifts in industry practices. Through case studies, expert interviews, and real-world applications, this research highlights AI as both a catalyst for innovation and a disruptive force that requires careful and ethical integration into design workflows.
