The Evolution Path and Future Development Trends of Generative AI-Driven Product Intelligent Design
Generative Artificial Intelligence(Generative AI),as an emerging technology in the field of artificial intelligence,is gradually becoming a key means to achieve intelligent product design.However,there has not yet been a complete and systematic discussion on the evolution path and future development trends of Generative AI-driven product intelligent design.This study employed CiteSpace knowledge mapping software to conduct a comprehensive review of relevant domestic and internationalliterature from 2014 to 2023.On the one hand,through the temporal-spatial evolution map,this paper analyzes the developmental trajectory of Generative AI from its inception to its explosive growth phase and summarizes the research hotspots.On the other hand,from the perspective of the design process,this study focuses on exploring the current research status and challenges of Generative AI in the stages of demand analysis,inspiration exploration,concept generation,and design evaluation.Finally,this study discusses the future outlook of Generative AI-driven product intelligent design from two dimensions:the new role of designers in product intelligent design and key innovative design thinking,and the trends in the application of Generative AI technology in product intelligent design.
