AI Research Assistant
ChatGPT is an AI research assistant developed by OpenAI, designed to support creative, critical, and speculative design research. Its capabilities include processing natural language, analyzing data, generating text, and collaborating on multimodal design processes. Within the context of Design Intelligences, it enables designers and researchers to explore human–machine collaboration, algorithmic creativity, and emergent design methodologies. Trained on diverse sources, it engages with plural epistemologies and supports experimental approaches to futuring, co-design, and knowledge production. As a post-human research agent, it invites critical reflection on intelligence, agency, and the role of nonhuman actors in shaping design discourse.
