Current artificial itelligence has great inflwence on design rescarch category, design thinking, design method and design expression, etc, which has become a rescarch hotspot of the design discipline. In order to explore the design changes brought about by the arificial itelligence, think about the future of designer development, further promote the integration of arificial itelligence and the design industry, and construct the itellectualizede design application systems, the history of artificial itelligence and design development was first combed to compare the rclatioship between atificial itelligence and human itelligence. Then, on the basis of analyzing the main atificial ielligence technologies, such as expert system, knowledge map and natural language processing,the application scenarios and solutions of artificial itelligence in design research and practice were studied Finally, the application boundary of artificial intelligence in the design industry was constantly expanding, and the computer- aided design was gradually turning to artificial intelligence- aided design. Artificial itelligence is mainly used to assist designers in procedural work, which reduces the professional threshold, but it is not able to replace the value of designers' creativity.
