Leveraging Generative AI Solutions in Art and Design Education: Bridging Sustainable Creativity and Fostering Academic Integrity for Innovative Society

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed art and design education, giving students new ways to create, explore, and learn. Unfortunately, there is fear among academicians that students will use AI, especially text-to-image generators like Midjourney or Dall-E, as an illegal shortcut in creating their work. This article examines how generative AI solutions, such as text-to-image generators, can help students create innovative and sustainable designs while promoting academic integrity. The article shows how AI in art and design education can equip students with the skills and knowledge to succeed in a rapidly changing digital landscape. This research uses a qualitative method by analyzing the apps and literature reviews in journals and documents related to the problems studied. Case studies show how AI-based solutions can help students create innovative and sustainable designs while promoting academic integrity. Integrating controlled AI- based approaches in art and design education can promote academic integrity, creativity, and sustainability. AI-based art and design education solutions may help society become more innovative and sustainable. This article concludes that art and design educators must embrace AI-based solutions to prepare students for a rapidly changing digital world.
