State Secretary Arne Braun visited the AI+Design Lab

On August 14, 2023, the State Secretary in the Ministry of Science, Art and Research, Arne Braun, visited the University of Design Schwäbisch Gmünd. We had the pleasure of welcoming him to the AI+Design Lab and discussing with him the implementation of and engagement with AI in design education. In a small exhibition, we presented projects that creatively and critically examine the use of AI technology in the design of products and media: Among others, the thesis “anticipate” by Niklas Muhs, that explores the impact of large language models (LLMs) on design practices, as well as the installation “Unstable Mirror” that allows participants to explore the underlying model of a generative AI process in an explorative and playful way, discovering potential biases of the model.
