- Abstract
Recent advances in artificial intelligence, particularly in conversational AI systems like ChatGPT, have made significant inroads in diverse disciplines, inclusive design being one of them. This research evaluates the efficacy of ChatGPT as a potential research instrument within the realm of inclusive design. To gauge its research capabilities, we juxtaposed ChatGPT’s academic writing outputs with those of a doctoral design scholar. Our methodology encompassed a mock research proposal writing exercise, succeeded by a thorough textual analysis. Preliminary findings suggest that ChatGPT is adept at formulating research proposals and predominantly yields pertinent responses. Nevertheless, certain limitations like content repetitiveness and a constrained range of outputs were observed. While AI can play a significant role in aiding and enhancing the work of inclusive design researchers, it is unlikely to replace them entirely in the foreseeable future. The human touch, understanding, intuition, and empathy remain crucial in the inclusive design process. This study delineates both the strengths and limitations of leveraging conversational AI in design-oriented research, paving the way for future explorations in this domain.
