Abstract
In recent years, we have quickly entered a new era that has challenged all areas of life. It seems that some old methods are less efficient than modern methods for doing various things. Educational fields should be updated for future generations, specially design education and related specialties. The problem we are facing today is getting the youth used to using the Internet and its countless possibilities. The main goal of this research is to find ways to teach creativity and maintain the human capabilities of designers. The next goal is to know how to use artificial intelligence as a creative teaching assistant. In order to conduct this research, a problem was raised in the class at the beginning of the brainstorming training session, and three groups of students were asked for ideas to solve the problem. After that, answers to solve the same problem were requested from several artificial intelligence platforms. The answers given by the students were compared with the answers given by the available artificial intelligence platforms. The initial findings show that the diversity of students' ideas is more, but order and classification can be seen in the answers provided by artificial intelligence. Also, the familiarity of students with the environment in which the problem was created causes the difference of some answers compared to artificial intelligence unfamiliar with the environment. Considering that this research started a month ago and is still ongoing; Brainstorming sessions will be repeated in other student groups in other regions. After that, the final analysis and conclusion can be presented.
