The swift development of artificial intelligence (AI) is significantly transforming the paradigm of nanophotonics. Leveraging universal approximation abilities, AI models sidestep time-consuming electromagnetic simulations, opening the inverse design of photonics systems with millions of design features while offering ample stability and practical scalability compared to traditional optimization methods. This perspective discusses inverse design paradigms enabled by recent advances in AI models, discussing their roles, challenges, and opportunities envisioned by the approaching era of artificial general intelligence.
