AI Agents for Design

Intrigued by integration of Design and AI.  Our early looks were at how to use a vast history of advertising to create new and effective marketing designs.

AI agents imitate engineers to construct effective new designs using visual cues like humans do  by Carnegie Mellon University

Trained AI agents can adopt human design strategies to solve problems, according to findings published in the ASME Journal of Mechanical Design.

Big design problems require creative and exploratory decision making, a skill in which humans excel. When engineers use artificial intelligence (AI), they have traditionally applied it to a problem within a defined set of rules rather than having it generally follow human strategies to create something new. This novel research considers an AI framework that learns human design strategies through observation of human data to generate new designs without explicit goal information, bias, or guidance.

The study was co-authored by Jonathan Cagan, professor of mechanical engineering and interim dean of Carnegie Mellon University's College of Engineering, Ayush Raina, a Ph.D. candidate in mechanical engineering at Carnegie Mellon, and Chris McComb, an assistant professor of engineering design at the Pennsylvania State University.

"The AI is not just mimicking or regurgitating solutions that already exist," said Cagan. "It's learning how people solve a specific type of problem and creating new design solutions from scratch." How good can AI be? "The answer is quite good." ... "
