Aims and scope
Design and Artificial Intelligence (DAAI) is a peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary research at the intersection of design and artificial intelligence (AI). The goal of DAAI is to serve as a leading platform of scholarly exchange and innovation in the integration of design and artificial intelligence through a multidisciplinary approach.
The journal aims to:
facilitate research that bridges the gap between the design and artificial intelligence;
promote the development and application of innovative AI technologies and methodologies in design contexts;
explore the implications of AI on new design theories, practices and education;
investigate human-computer (AI) interaction paradigms emerging from the integration of AI in design processes; and
encourage critical discourse on the ethical, social, and cultural impacts of AI-driven design.
Scope
DAAI welcomes original research articles, review papers, case studies and theoretical frameworks that contribute to the advancement of knowledge in this rapidly evolving field. The journal seeks submissions from researchers, practitioners and educators working in areas including, but not limited to, artificial intelligence, design theory and practice, and human-computer interaction.
