Digital design work does not pursue certainty, but benefits from uncertainty. The digital design of AI technology does not aim at getting the right answer, but can create uncertainty and then enlighten the designer. The bottleneck of human creation is the experience, logic and method of human beings. Digital design requires creativity and emotion, which happen to be a more important link to the role of AI technology and human nature in the age of intelligence (Vlachodimos, 2016). Therefore, the relationship between digital design and AI technology is far more profound and complex than the replacement of work.

From the narrow point of view, with the development of AI technology e and the further development of science and technology, there will be more different digital designer roles, such as the digital design of the physical world. In a broad sense, AI technology is further advancing the process of democratization of digital design. When designers input requests simply, they produce hundreds of design plans quickly, while designers only choose to pick the ones they like, or constantly reassemble them until they produce the most satisfactory results (Miyake, 2017).

The growth of machine ability makes the human brain grow more space, but it also will promote the evolution of the human brain. When machines can help people undertake more repetitive tasks, it will stimulate the creativity of human brain. The digital design requires AI technology to assist the convolution. Intelligent digital design of the existing practice, has begun a new digital design role (Nissan, 2015). The digital designer is no longer required to provide a clear digital design result. Maybe it is a way to digital design data to structuralism and algorithm optimization. Maybe it can provide feedback to the machine about the digital design’s evaluation.

In summary, AI technology makes the machine capacity growing makes the digital design to further reduce the threshold, the special need of the digital original design capacity, but limited by time and cost jobs. With AI technology, digital design is becoming more and more independent. Hidden behind this phenomenon is not only the digital design ability and the decreasing digital design cost, but also the ability of AI technology to provide more and more accurate digital design.
