Research on the Cultivation of Collaborative Creativity Practical Ability for Master's Students Majoring in Design in the Era of Artificial Intelligence

The rapid development of generative AI is shifting design from a "tool-assisted" to a "human‑machine collaboration" paradigm, redefining core competencies for designers. This study examines the evolution of human‑computer collaboration theory and the current state of design education. Analyzing cases from Stanford's D.school, MIT Media Lab, and the Central Academy of Fine Arts' "Future" initiative, it proposes strategies to cultivate "collaborative creativity" in design master's students. The aim is to advance design education from skill training to the holistic development of human‑AI collaborative thinking and ethical judgment, meeting the innovation demands of the intelligent era.
