Destroy All Humans: The Dematerialisation of the Designer in an Age of Automation and its Impact on Graphic Design—A Literature Review

Digital automation is on the rise in a diverse range of industries. The technologies employed here often make use of artificial intelligence (AI) and its common form, machine learning (ML) to augment or replace the work completed by human agents. The recent emergence of a variety of design automation platforms inspired the authors to undertake a review of the research literature on the impact of Automation, AI and ML on visual communication, and its subset practice of graphic design, with a view to understanding the implications for the education of practitioners entering that specific field. This review discovered that there was relatively little research published on the topic but what did exist noted that graphic design as we have known it has an uncertain future. Furthermore, the scant literature argued for a shift in educational and professional focus away from the aesthetic and technical skills required to design visual modes of communication and towards a deeper engagement with the softer, more human skills associated with negotiation, facilitation and judgement. The paucity of literature on this topic suggests to the authors that visual communication design education and the industry are poorly prepared for the impact of automation, AI and ML on them.

毁灭全人类:自动化时代设计师的非物质化及其对平面设计的影响——文献综述

数字自动化在各个行业中都在兴起。这里使用的技术通常利用人工智能 (AI) 及其常见形式机器学习 (ML) 来增强或取代人类代理完成的工作。最近出现的各种设计自动化平台启发作者回顾了有关自动化、人工智能和机器学习对视觉传达及其子集平面设计实践的影响的研究文献,以期了解其影响进入该特定领域的从业者的教育。这篇评论发现,关于这个主题的研究相对较少,但现有的研究表明,我们所知道的平面设计的未来是不确定的。此外,很少有文献主张教育和专业重点从设计视觉交流模式所需的美学和技术技能转向更深入地参与与谈判、促进和判断相关的更软、更人性化的技能。作者认为,有关该主题的文献很少,这表明视觉传达设计教育和行业对于自动化、人工智能和机器学习对他们的影响准备不足。
