The recent advancements in AI-driven design and storytelling are significantly reshaping creative industries, with a particular emphasis on enhancing user engagement and participatory design processes. Generative AI is being increasingly integrated into design workflows, not only to augment individual creativity but also to facilitate more inclusive and diverse stakeholder involvement in public space design. This integration is fostering richer, more space-aware conversations and promoting the development of customized AI tools that cater to different user groups. Notably, the co-design approach, which actively engages stakeholders in the data collection and annotation process, is gaining traction for its ability to mitigate biases and ensure equitable representation in AI models. Additionally, the use of AI in storytelling, particularly in interactive and game-based narratives, is pushing the boundaries of immersive experiences, although challenges remain in generating truly innovative content. The field is also witnessing a shift towards more responsible AI governance, with a focus on understanding and addressing the labor challenges behind AI content work. Overall, the trend is towards more human-centric, participatory, and ethically sound AI applications that not only enhance creativity but also ensure inclusivity and responsible development.
