Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is applied to an extending number of academic fields, including culture and design. Hence, there is a necessity to incorporate AI competencies in the curricula of cultural and design studies. This paper explores potential points of contact between cultural and design studies, AI technologies, as well as relevant competencies. Through a comprehensive curriculum analysis of two study programs, expert interviews and analysis of sample projects, the paper finds practical connections for the inclusion of AI competencies into culture and design studies. We propose components of AI literacy for students in culture and design programs along the categories of technical understanding, critical appraisal and practical application. The findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on the interdisciplinary use of AI, offering insights into the evolving skill set in the field of culture and design.
