Abstract

The current study examined the extent to which graphic designers in Oman rely on artificial intelligence software and it highlighted full-time and freelance designers specifically. Artificial intelligence has advanced tremendously in the last several years, and this has had an impact on human life in general. In other words, artificial intelligence is a tool that recognizes patterns and assists humans in problem-solving. From this perspective, AI can serve as a designer's aide. This study aims to measure the extent to which graphic designers use AI software to accomplish their design tasks and to identify the most frequently used AI programs among graphic designers in Oman. This research utilized a quantitative method, collecting data through an online survey questionnaire. By exploring the familiarity of designers with AI programs in graphic design within Oman, this study provides a foundational resource for future research. It is among the few studies that focus on this specific target group. Future research could investigate the long-term effects and evolving practices of users as AI tools become increasingly integrated into design workflows.
