How artificial intelligence is changing design
Artificial intelligence is playing an increasing role in design and advertising. By deploying advanced AI technologies, companies can work more efficiently, develop personalised campaigns and explore new creative possibilities. But as well as the benefits, artificial intelligence also brings challenges. How is this technology affecting the future of the creative sector?
Artificial intelligence in design
Automatic design
Artificial intelligence makes it possible to apply automatic design, with software generating numerous design options based on preset parameters. This enables designers to quickly explore diverse and complex structures that are both aesthetic and functional. For instance, some architectural firms use artificial intelligence to create photorealistic and detailed designs, which significantly increases productivity. And in the fashion industry, Nike applies artificial intelligence to design products based on athlete data, optimising the process.
Personalisation and efficiency
Artificial intelligence allows designers and marketers to work more efficiently. Tools such as Canva's Magic Studio and Adobe Firefly enable even users with no design background to create visual content. Artificial intelligence can automatically generate images, adapt colour palettes to corporate identity guidelines and optimise text for maximum impact.
Artificial intelligence in ads
Data-driven creativity
The advertising world is shifting from traditional creativity to data-driven strategies. Artificial intelligence makes it possible to optimise ads based on user data, making campaigns more targeted and effective. Major brands such as Coca-Cola and Venco Drop have already deployed artificial intelligence for their advertising campaigns. This caused controversy, as some consumers perceive AI-generated ads as less authentic. It also raises questions about the future of creative professionals in the ad industry.

Automation and optimisation
Artificial intelligence helps advertisers automate and optimise campaigns. AI-driven ad platforms such as Google Ads and Meta automatically adjust bidding strategies and content based on real-time user interactions. This ensures higher conversion rates and more efficient use of ad budgets. Artificial intelligence automation is also used to create algorithms.
Benefits of artificial intelligence in design and advertising
- Efficiency: artificial intelligence automates repetitive tasks, allowing creatives to focus on strategic and innovative aspects.
- Personalisation: artificial intelligence analyses user data to tailor content and ads to individual preferences, increasing engagement.
- Innovation: artificial intelligence opens up new possibilities in design and marketing, pushing creative boundaries.
- Scalability: companies can produce content faster and on a larger scale without bringing in large creative teams.
Challenges and considerations
- Creative control: over-reliance on artificial intelligence may lead to uniform designs and a decline in human creativity.
- Ethics and privacy: the use of AI raises questions about privacy and the ethical implications of automated decision-making.
- Employment: automation may lead to shifts in the level of employment within the creative sector.
- Bias and reliability: artificial intelligence models may contain unintended biases that affect the way ads and designs are presented.
Artificial intelligence is radically changing the future of design and advertising. The technology offers unprecedented opportunities for efficiency, personalisation and innovation, but also brings challenges. The key to success lies in the collaboration between artificial intelligence and human creativity. By using AI as a support tool, designers and marketers can reach new heights without losing the essence of creativity.
