Abstract

The purpose of this study is to propose the role of future designers and capabilities to be developed in the age of A.I. Active and preliminary designers should prepare themselves to develop necessary capabilities. As a method of study, we investigated the meaning of design and the changing role of designers from the past to present. Additional research was conducted on generative design, design processes, and A.I based design software. Finally, based on the analysis, we proposed the role of future designers and their capabilities in the age of A.I. In conclusion, the role of future designer should lead social innovation through creativity by coworking with artificial intelligence based on understanding and empathy for users. Based on this research, designers are expected to develop unique humanities skills such as empathy and creativity and work with AI in response to $4^{th}$ industrial revolution.

본 연구는 인공지능 시대에서 미래 디자이너의 역할과 키워야 할 역량을 제안하는 데 목적이 있다. 인공지능 기술이 사회 전반의 핵심 기술로 등장하여 디자이너의 작업 영역에 영향을 주고 있다. 따라서 4차 산업혁명 시대에 존재하는 현역 및 예비 디자이너들은 이에 맞추어 필요한 역량을 키울 준비를 해야 한다. 연구 방법으로는 문헌 연구를 통해 과거부터 현재까지 디자인의 의미와 디자이너의 역할 변화를 조사하였다. 또한, 생성적 디자인, 디자인 프로세스 그리고 인공지능 기반 디자인 소프트웨어에 관한 연구를 진행하고 한계점을 분석하였다. 마지막으로 디자이너에게 필요한 핵심역량을 알아보고, 인공지능 시대 사회에서 미래 디자이너의 역할과 갖추어야 할 역량을 제안하였다. 결론적으로 미래 디자이너의 역할은 사용자에 대한 이해와 공감능력을 바탕으로 인공지능과 협업하여 창의력을 발휘해 사회혁신을 이끌어야 한다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 디자이너는 4차 산업혁명 시대에 대응하여 인공지능이 갖지 못하는 공감능력, 창의성 등 인간 고유의 인문학적 역량을 키우고 인공지능과 협업할 수 있기를 기대한다.
