Research

We are studying how students in arts and design programs think about and value AI in their creative practice.

Using a set of short, creative reflection activities called “design probes,” we capture participants’ ideas about AI before and after the workshops to see whether and how their thinking changes through hands-on engagement.

The study is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts and has been reviewed and approved by the Carnegie Mellon University Institutional Review Board (IRB).

Research and practitioner resources will be collected here as they are released.
