AI Integration in Interior Design Learning Promoting Creativity, Effectiveness and Sustainability

Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an element within the interior design curriculum is changing how students think about creativity, thinking, and design process. Generative algorithms, virtual environments, and real- time data acquirement provide profound improvements to conceive new design ideas and their practical applicability, spatial requirements, and concerns such as sustainability. This study discusses how AI tools help students to complete forms that enable organization of spaces, make them more environmentally friendly decisions, including material usage and energy consumption. This study aims to present a discussion of the leading technologies regarding AI's function in interior design, their implications for creativity and environmentalism, and the problems of applying these technologies among professional interior designers and students. Students can devote part of their time to elaborate design thinking and experimentation, while AI takes care of others' mundane chores. The research evidence shows that the utilization of AI in design results in enhanced performance in the design process concerning time, variety of options, and sustainability. By applying and teaching AI in interior design curricula, this research highlights that students of design will better meet the industry's continuous shifting demands. Preparing students to gain technical knowledge and creative attitudes to practice in a technology integrated interior design profession.
