Artificial intelligence (AI) is considered as a groundbreaking technology and is attracting increasing interest in science, business and the media. AI has existed as an independent research discipline since the 1950s, but due to increasing computing power, new algorithms and growing data volumes, AI systems have become established in a number of applications in recent years. AI is also playing an increasingly important role in design processes. Among other possibilities, AI has the potential to enable new design techniques and speed up processes through automation. Airbnb presented an early prototype back in 2017 – it is an AI that can recognise and assign all components of Airbnb's design system and convert rough design sketches into source code. This thesis deals with the research question of the influence artificial intelligence will have on design systems. First, in a theoretical section, a basic understanding of both AI in design and design systems is created and the current status is identified. On the basis of the research, a prototype for a future scenario in the context of design systems and AI is presented.
