Abstract EN
The dynamic development of generative arti;cial intelligence (Gen-AI), especially large language models (LLMs), introduces new opportunities and challenges for design education. This paper explores the potential role of Gen-AI as a simulation-based tool that supports interdisciplinary and participatory learning environments. In particular, it focuses on how Gen-AI can facilitate the development of co-design competencies by simulating stakeholder interactions, enabling students to engage in context-rich, multi-perspective design processes. Through a critical review of the literature and a speculative pedagogical framework, the study outlines a conceptual model for integrating Gen-AI into design curricula. It identi;es three dimensions of design education- tools and technologies, socio-cultural context, and methodological reasoning and examines the ways in which Gen-AI may enhance or challenge each of them. While acknowledging the cognitive, ethical, and institutional limitations of AI-assisted learning, the paper argues that generative tools, if methodically implemented, may expand access to complex design scenarios and support the formation of re2ective, adaptive, and socially aware designers.
