This will be a sustainability breakthrough: Google's quantum chip will revolutionize green design. Perfect material simulations = less waste, better recycling, more efficient products. Future of industrial design is sustainable by default. #Sustainability
DESIGNERS: Your creativity is about to be supercharged. Willow chip means testing millions of design variations simultaneously. The computer does the heavy lifting, you focus on innovation. #Design #Engineering

AI is likely to create new challenges for intellectual property law in areas such as patent law. As AI becomes more advanced, it will be able to generate new inventions, designs, etc. or solve problems in ways that are currently beyond our human capability. This raises questions about whether AI-generated inventions should be eligible for patent protection, and how the existing legal framework will need to be adapted to accommodate them.

The future is coming fast.
Meeting of the minds on design futures and a post pandemic design community. Some interesting conversations on digital innovation, the seismic change that AI is bringing, design education, the future of the design workplace, and “What was the best meal you ever had?” Thankyou @masupdx for an incredible meal!!

What are the biggest trends in #designeducation and #industrialdesign education?
Currently design education is split between art institutes and traditional universities. Look for the traditional universities to leverage their broad curriculum to compete with excellent institutions like @artcenteredu . These universities will bet the future of design education on creativity in business by placing greater emphasis on entrepreneurship, teaching students to develop their own design businesses or work as independent designers. This may involve providing students with practical skills in marketing, business development, and financial management. #designeducation #designthinking #designprocess #graphicdesigneducation #productdesigneducation #industrialdesigneducation #interiordesigneducation #architectureeducation #digitaldesigneducation #designhistory #designcritique #designresearch #designtheory #teachingdesign #designpedagogy#designcurriculum #designstudents#designlearning

Design research can help companies gain a deeper understanding of their customers, including their needs, preferences, and behaviors. This information can be used to create more targeted and effective products and services that better meet customers' needs.

Industrial design is not just about creating new products, but also about improving and refining existing ones to better serve the needs of users.

There will be a massive design education revolution over the next 15 years, & design education will look nothing like it did even 20 years ago. The fracturing of industrial design of the early 1900s into product, graphic, GUI/UI, Service design UX design VRARVX design is prologue
Replying to @multimicah
An educational system that confuses Art with Design, and ignores the essential codification of means and methods essential in advancing the discipline, and debunking the narrative that design is romance rather than rational. It’s a truth in labeling problem

Development to watch… #AI #MachineLearning
Ian Goodfellow, Apple’s director of machine learning, is leaving the company due to its return to work policy. In a note to staff, he said “I believe strongly that more flexibility would have been the best policy for my team.” He was likely the company’s most cited ML expert.

An important read
Ironic that, in one article, the New York Times R&D group has done more to illustrate the path forward for VR than any of the big tech commercial ventures have managed. Story telling is #designthinking #design #experiencedesign #ux
