4.Designer Zhang Xiang from Hunan Guangyun Construction Engineering Co., Ltd.: Basic lighting design positions may be optimized by AI
Zhang Xiang stated that AI is mainly a new technology based on data collection, analysis, learning, and ultimately implemented into applications. Therefore, the first choice for quantifiable data and digital applications in the lighting industry is undoubtedly AI technology, especially as this technology has a very powerful role in lighting design work to a certain extent, especially in helping to improve work efficiency in the early stages of lighting design.
She further mentioned that currently in the conceptual design stage, there are already actions to generate conceptual intent maps through AI. Throughout history, the most commonly used applications in lighting design have undoubtedly been computation and mapping, with computation being the area where AI excels the most, but the results are somewhat inferior. At present, there are no AI drawings that can be directly used in the field of lighting design, and they all need to be modified. However, they can still help lighting designers reduce their workload.
She finally looked forward to the fact that as the database of AI in lighting applications becomes more mature and rich, more conventional, simple, and less creative lighting design projects may be replaced by AI, and some basic lighting design jobs may also be optimized due to the existence of AI. However, AI cannot replace creative and personalized design because it can never replace human thinking and consciousness. It is worth looking forward to the further optimization of AI's auxiliary performance, which will help the lighting design industry solve more practical problems.
5.Tong Xiaoqing, Chief Designer of China Northwest Architectural Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd.: While AI brings happiness, it can also give you a painful "chicken rib" pain
Tong Xiaoqing said that AI technology is a technology that presents human intelligence for human-machine cooperation. In the lighting industry, AI technology plays a role in inspiring thinking patterns, cross-border integration, and building personalized applications.
She pointed out that AI technology has many significant advantages. It can quickly process large amounts of data and information, generate multiple lighting schemes in a short period of time through complex algorithms, provide personalized design customization, provide designers with new creativity and ideas, stimulate their creativity, and improve their work efficiency. At the same time, she also pointed out the shortcomings of AI technology. AI technology is only limited to creating an atmosphere of internal transparent environment and ambient light in the generation of night scene renderings, and cannot generate building facade lighting renderings, let alone change the building structure. She finally exclaimed that while AI brings you happiness, it can also cause you a painful "chicken rib" pain.
Regarding the question of whether AI technology can replace designers, she said, "In the long run, the rapid development of AI technology will have a certain impact and change on the working methods and development directions of the industry, such as basic and repetitive work may gradually be replaced by AI
She also stated that lighting design is not just a technology, but an art that requires injecting the designer's thoughts and emotions. From planning to implementation, a project requires designers to have face-to-face communication and exchange with clients, gain a deep understanding of their needs, and be able to make flexible adjustments based on their feedback, in order to provide clients with a more tailored design solution. This kind of emotional connection and trust building between people is an irreplaceable advantage for lighting designers, which AI cannot currently achieve.
She further added that AI is more likely to become a powerful tool for lighting designers, helping them improve work efficiency and expand design ideas. As a designer, one should constantly learn and master new AI technologies and tools, integrate them into their work, improve work efficiency and design quality, adapt to market demands and changes, and create more outstanding lighting works.
6.Zhu Huaying, Chief Designer of Fushite Construction Technology Co., Ltd.: AI technology is the "capable assistant" of designers
Zhu Huaying stated that AI technology plays a role in promoting the development of lighting design. She mentioned that from daily news tweets and communication with manufacturers, she learned that AI technology is more accurate and convenient in controlling light color temperature, color, brightness, etc., which can effectively save manpower and costs. In addition, when designers' inspiration and thinking are exhausted in daily life, AI technology can fuel the situation, provide more possibilities for thinking, and broaden their horizons; Accurate calculations can reduce some repetitive work and improve work efficiency.
Zhu Huaying also mentioned that during the conceptual design stage, she began using AI to understand the urban landscape, historical culture, local customs, and other information of the project location. She sorted out the project's relevant storylines and extracted design inspiration, which not only improved work efficiency but also enhanced her self-awareness.
Regarding the question of whether AI technology can replace designers, Zhu Huaying said that AI cannot replace designers. AI technology only provides designers with design inspiration and ideas, and is a powerful "little assistant" for designers. A project, from planning to implementation, is a collision of thoughts between people. Their design creativity comes from various aspects such as observations and feelings in daily life, artistic and cultural influences, and unique aesthetics that are in line with their own needs. She further said that currently, making a design proposal is not limited to one's own field, but also requires interdisciplinary integration, rather than being replaced by uniform numerical codes.
Summary statement
From the perspective of six designers, the development of AI technology is a product of the trend and progress of the times, which has promoted the transformation of the lighting industry and played a role in promoting the development of lighting design. AI technology only provides designers with design inspiration and ideas, stimulates their creative potential, and is a "capable assistant" around designers. The current AI technology is not yet mature and there are still many shortcomings.
Therefore, we should not rely too much on AI. We should take its essence, use its advantages to work together, give full play to their respective advantages, improve work efficiency and design quality, to adapt to market needs and changes, and build more high-quality works for the lighting industry.
