This Journal aims to promote interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approaches and the role of collaboration in education; bridging the gap between research of design, technologies and industry.</p> en-US <p><a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" rel="license"><img src="https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/4.0/88x31.png" alt="Creative Commons License"></a><br>This work is licensed under a&nbsp;<a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" rel="license">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.&nbsp;</a>Authors retain copyright and grant the journal right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed under a&nbsp;<a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) 4.0 License</a>&nbsp;that allows others to share the work with an acknowledgement of the work’s authorship and initial publication in this journal.</p> [email protected] (Dr. Amna Khalid) [email protected] (Syeda Tehreem Fatima) Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:56:37 +0000 OJS 3.1.2.1 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 60 https://journals.umt.edu.pk/index.php/jdt/article/view/6296 <p>As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to transform various fields and industries, its impact on design education has become increasingly evident. This study investigates how AI influences creativity, critical thinking, and skill development in design learning. It highlights the benefits and challenges of using AI tools by gathering insights from students, educators, and professionals across various design disciplines. The findings indicate that AI enhances creativity and critical thinking by simplifying the brainstorming process while providing possible design alternatives and offering real-time feedback. However, over-reliance on AI tools raises ethical issues such as bias and lack of transparency. This eventually hinders the development of hands-on skill development. This study emphasizes the importance of mindful AI integration in the core design curriculum to balance AI-driven innovation and traditional practices. By navigating the opportunities and limitations of AI, educators, and learners can optimize its role in design education and ensure it serves as a tool for betterment, rather than replacing human originality.</p> Fatima-tu-Zuhra Copyright (c) 2025 Fatima-tu-Zuhra https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://journals.umt.edu.pk/index.php/jdt/article/view/6296 Thu, 20 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000
