Introduction
Art and design education has significantly transformed in recent years due to the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.These technologies have given students new tools for innovative creation, exploration, and education.Educators are increasingly concerned that students may use AI tools as shortcuts to create their work, which could lead to academic dishonesty.Establishing clear academic integrity policies and educating students on acceptable Generative AI usage scenarios is essential for the future development of University classrooms.However, there are still obstacles to overcome, such as detecting students using these tools in their submissions.The campus must consider the ramifications of this when developing future policy.[1] This article examines how AI-based solutions, such as text-to-image generators, can foster sustainable creativity in art and design education while maintaining academic integrity.This research uses a qualitative approach to demonstrate how AI can equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in the rapidly evolving digital world by analyzing literature reviews and app data.
Through case studies, this article illustrates how controlled AI-based approaches can assist students in developing sustainable and innovative designs while promoting academic integrity.By incorporating these solutions into art and design education, educators can which was based on the "conjecture that every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it" This early definition led to deep controversies and raised important questions about the philosophical foundations of AI.

Generative AI
Researchers have developed neural learning models since the 1960s and are currently applying them.Google's AlphaZero game AI uses "reinforcement learning" to generate game simulations and adjust network weights based on success.People use Generative adversarial networks (GANs) to create synthetic images of artworks and human faces that an image recognition system cannot distinguish from natural images.Turing learning is a variation of GAN where the system can actively interact with the world to guess whether the data comes from the actual environment or a machine.[1]

AI in Art and Design Education
Learning could have much to offer to research on AI, which could increase awareness of AI technologies and their potential impact on education.As companies and organizations will use AI to automate production processes, they may shift the balance from the instrumental role of education towards its more developmental role.Thus, educators and policymakers must understand AI in the broader context of the future of learning.[1] There is a need to bridge the gap between AI literacy and the safe utilization of such tools.The researchers also noted that we should consider the challenges posed by emergent technologies and protect creativity since creativity may or may not be automated.It remains to be seen if this democratization of creativity supports humanity.[2] Using character design as a case study, researchers examine how artificial intelligence could enhance art education in this study.According to research by Jing Li and Bingyu Zhang, AI has made education significantly more manageable.Adoption of this novel technology improves instructional techniques.[3] As AI/ML models have evolved, Generative AI has become a trending topic for producing creative digital content from qualitative datasets (i.e.audio, video, and image files).Generative AI encompasses various modalities, including text-to-image, text-to-video, and text-to-audio; they receive text input as cues to generate original content.[4] Text-to-image Popularity of AI art generators is increasing.DALL-E's API, Midjourney's service, and Stable Diffusion's open-source programs were open for free in the summer of 2022, disrupting the gaming and animation industries.These generative AI technologies enable artists to produce music, animation, narratives, and visual art more quickly and easily.Due to the rapid tempo and frequent evolution of technology, the educational application of generative AI tools has been understudied.[5] Using generative AI in industrial design may also facilitate design education, which is a potential advantage.Generative AI models can help novice designers identify and learn from patterns and trends in their work by generating new designs and variations.It can help them develop a deeper understanding of design principles and a refined aesthetic sensibility.[6]

Academic Integrity in Art and Design Education
Academic integrity is crucial to art and design education.It ensures that students learn and develop their skills honestly and ethically.However, the increasing availability of AI tools may lead to concerns about students using them as shortcuts, thereby compromising academic integrity.Addressing these concerns is essential to ensure that AI technologies are used responsibly in education.

Sustainable Creativity in Art and Design Education
Sustainable creativity refers to the responsible use of resources and long-term thinking in the creative process (Mataruna-Dos-Santos & Filho, 2020).In art and design education, sustainable creativity involves equipping students with the skills to develop innovative and environmentally responsible solutions (Wong et al., 2017).AI-based solutions can significantly foster sustainable creativity by providing new ways to generate and iterate designs while minimizing resource use (Edmonds et al., 2020).

Case Studies of AI-Based Solutions in Art and Design Education
Several case studies illustrate the benefits of integrating AI-based solutions into art and design education.For example, using AI-powered text-to-image generators has enhanced students' creativity by providing them with unique visual stimuli and design ideas (Cai & Zhu, 2021).Furthermore, AI-based tools have been used to detect plagiarism in art and design projects, promoting academic integrity (Alam et al., 2019).

Challenges and Opportunities in AI-Based Art and Design Education
While AI-based solutions offer considerable potential for enhancing art and design education, they also present challenges.For instance, ensuring that AI tools are used ethically and responsibly is crucial to maintain academic integrity.Additionally, educators must have the necessary knowledge and skills to integrate AI technologies effectively into their teaching practices.
In conclusion, the literature review highlights the potential of AI-based solutions in art and design education to promote academic integrity, foster sustainable creativity, and prepare students for a rapidly changing digital world.Educators can help students become innovative, creative, and responsible members of society by integrating controlled AI-based approaches into art and design education.Integrating AI-based solutions in art and design education has shown promise in enhancing students' creativity, promoting academic integrity, and fostering sustainable practices.
The literature review and case studies presented in this article demonstrate the potential of AI technologies in transforming the learning experience while addressing the challenges associated with academic dishonesty and sustainability.AI-based tools such as text-to-image generators offer unique opportunities for students to explore new ideas and develop innovative designs.However, ensuring that these tools are used responsibly to maintain academic integrity is crucial.This can be achieved through controlled AI-based approaches, proper guidance, and education on the ethical usage of AI technologies.

Result and Discussion
The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has substantially altered art and design education in recent years.These technologies have provided students with innovative new creations, exploration, and educational instruments.However, there are some consequences; educators are increasingly concerned that students may use AI tools as shortcuts to create their work, which could result in academic dishonesty.
This article explores how artificial intelligencebased solutions, such as text-to-image generators, can promote academic integrity and nurture sustainable creativity in art and design education.By assessing literature evaluations and app data, this study demonstrates, through a qualitative methodology, how AI can equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in the swiftly changing digital landscape.In ten minutes, generative AI can generate fifty concepts, of which we can use one-third to expand upon existing concepts.[6] It also lends itself to developing more robust and expressive styles, allowing designers to depart from conventional modes of thought.Through case studies, this article illustrates how controlled AI-based approaches can assist students in developing sustainable and innovative designs while promoting academic integrity.
AI could be utilized to objectively evaluate pupil learning by evaluating test results without instructor bias.However, whether test scores are accurate indicators of student achievement is unclear.Individual development may be a more essential indicator of learning support than the average performance on standardized assessments.Neural AI systems are a natural fit with learning models that regard learning as transferring knowledge to the student's consciousness.Still, AI may need to be incorporated in various ways into the learning process.[1] The incorporation of AI technologies into art and design education has the potential to enhance creativity, personalize learning experiences, and equip students with the skills necessary to flourish in a digital landscape that is swiftly evolving.However, we must address academic integrity and sustainability concerns to ensure the responsible use of AI-based solutions.We can implement several solutions to promote academic integrity and nurture sustainable creativity in art and design education.
Firstly, encourage critical thinking, as the focus should be on the creative process, idea, and reflection, not just the final product.It will encourage students to generate original thoughts and reduce the likelihood of plagiarism.Finnish pre-service craft teachers and teacher educators (N=15) discussed artificial intelligence's potential benefits and drawbacks, focusing on text-to-image generative AI. [7] Making with AI prompted instructors to investigate the unique nature of crafts and the conflicts and compromises associated with the use of generative AI in craft practices.The article explored the intricate relationship between creative production and generative AI.The Industrial Design Department's core curriculum at National United University evaluates these pros and cons using generative text and image methods.Twenty-six sophomores studied theory and practice.Students used generative AI models to create new variations and improve their output in response to design prompts.Industrial design education may benefit from the use of generative AI.Generative AI models help new designers spot trends-the study of aesthetics and design.[6] Promoting critical thinking in art and design will assist students in producing original work and reducing instances of plagiarism.
One method is to assign tasks requiring or requiring analysis: Students must analyze works of art or designs used as references, discuss the elements or design principles, techniques, or concepts used, and provide justifications for their selection.It will force them to evaluate the work critically and determine how they can apply it to their projects.The fundamental principle is the duties that result in concept formation.
Here, we can ask students to choose multiple concepts for a single project, then choose and combine the finest aspects of each concept to produce an original final product.This procedure will teach them the significance of idea exploration and development.By assigning tasks that require critical thinking, we can encourage students to create original works of art and designs and reduce the risk of plagiarism.We can also utilize critical thinking in assignments requiring students to research a specific topic or issue and create artwork or designs demonstrating their new understanding and knowledge.It will encourage them to investigate novel concepts and generate original work.Providing boundaries and parameters is another technique for stimulating critical thought.Sometimes, limitations in art and design can inspire originality.For their assignments, we can provide students with specific time constraints, materials, or topics.It will encourage them to think creatively to develop distinct and original solutions.We can provide students with a real-world problem to solve through art or design in each assignment.It will compel them to think critically about the best method to approach the problem and to design or create original solutions.
Secondly, production process transparency is crucial.We must encourage students to be forthright, explain, and designate which portions of their work are produced by AI and humans.However, we still require proper recognition as compensation for their process instead of merely concentrating on the result.Machine learning can produce great work, but in this age of disruption, it is more important for students to comprehend the process of producing spectacular work.Rewards in the form of commensurate teacher appreciation for their thought and work processes create opportunities for students to acknowledge and comprehend where they use AI in their process plainly and transparently.It will also reduce the likelihood that they will do it in secret.It will promote transparency and accountability and help students comprehend the role of artificial intelligence in the creative process.
Thirdly, it is crucial to evaluate the process and the result.According to research conducted in the Industrial Design Department of the National United University, the research objectives are as follows: (1) integrating industrial design education to explore students' emotional responses and technology acceptance and identifying the benefits and areas for improvement of incorporating generative AI; and (2) implementing generative AI to validate design projects, examining traditional design procedures, and examining the impact of generative AI at the industrial level.[6] In this step, educators should evaluate various phases of the creative process, such as initial concepts, outlines, and prototypes, to demonstrate the significance of the creative process to students.There is a need for individual reports that document the phases of creating a piece, including preliminary designs, rejected ideas, research notes, and reflections.Include this journal or portfolio in our overall evaluation.Before students begin working on a project, they can present their concepts and ideas to us or the class.It allows teachers to give feedback and guide students in the right direction before they initiate the endeavor.Regularly check in with students to determine how they are grappling with challenges, what they are learning, and how their ideas are developing throughout the endeavor.Evaluate their progress concerning obstacles and incorporate feedback.In addition to observing the completed product, this evaluation considers the technical and artistic skills students demonstrate while creating artwork or design.It will help them comprehend the significance of technical mastery and style development.By evaluating the process, we can help students understand the significance of idea exploration and development in art and design.It will also give them a better understanding of how to evaluate their work, encouraging them to produce original work and reducing the likelihood of plagiarism.
Finally, we should teach ethical considerations and copyright regulations to ensure that students understand the importance of respecting the rights of others and using legitimate resources.We can initiate it through a discussion of art and design ethics.We can invite students to discuss copyright, the use of other people's work, and how to respect intellectual property rights through this discussion.It will help them comprehend the constraints in the art and design world.We must also introduce the concept of copyright and the various types of licenses, including Creative Commons licenses.In discussions, we can demonstrate to students how to properly use and cite sources and obtain permission to use the work of others when necessary.To demonstrate to students the significance of respecting the work of others and the potential repercussions of copyright infringement, educators should present some case studies on copyright infringement in the art and design world and the consequences that perpetrators face.Teachers must instruct students in appropriate citation through exercises that require them to cite sources, such as noting references to images used in presentations or research.It will assist them in developing the skills necessary to cite sources correctly and respect the work of others.By teaching students about ethics and intellectual property in art and design classes, we can help them respect the work of others and comprehend the repercussions of plagiarism.It will encourage them to produce original content and reduce the likelihood of copyright violations.
Incorporating controlled AI-based methods into art and design education has the potential to improve academic integrity, creativity, and sustainability.Educators must integrate AI-based solutions into art and design education to give students the tools they need to become innovative, creative, and accountable members of society.

Conclusion
In conclusion, AI-based solutions have the potential to significantly enhance art and design education by promoting academic integrity, fostering sustainable creativity, and preparing students for a rapidly changing digital world.By embracing these technologies and integrating controlled AI-based approaches, educators can equip students with the tools they need to become innovative, creative, and responsible members of society.However, challenges remain, such as ensuring ethical and responsible usage of AI tools and preparing educators to integrate these technologies into their teaching practices effectively.Addressing these challenges is essential to fully realize the potential of AI-based solutions in art and design education.Ultimately, the successful adoption of AI technologies in art and design education depends on educators, students, and technology developers collaborating to create an innovative and sustainable future.But in light of the rapid advancement of technology, it is essential to investigate the ongoing effects of generative AI in depth.As technology advances, researchers and industrial designers will investigate the potential of future developments.[6]
