The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed design practices in architecture and industrial product development. Generative design systems leverage AI algorithms, machine learning, and optimization techniques to produce innovative solutions that meet multiple performance criteria. This study explores the role of AI-driven generative design systems in enhancing creativity, efficiency, and sustainability in architectural and industrial applications. A mixed-method approach was adopted, combining case study analysis, computational modeling, and expert surveys across 50 architectural and industrial design projects. Metrics included design diversity, structural efficiency, resource optimization, and user satisfaction. Results demonstrated that AI-driven systems produced 40% more design alternatives within a reduced timeframe, optimized material usage by 25%, and enhanced aesthetic diversity compared to conventional methods. Designers reported increased creative capacity, iterative exploration, and informed decision-making. Challenges identified include algorithmic bias, computational resource requirements, and the need for seamless human-AI collaboration. Findings suggest that AI generative design represents a paradigm shift, offering scalable, sustainable, and user-centric design solutions across disciplines. Recommendations emphasize integrating AI tools into existing workflows, training designers in computational thinking, and establishing ethical guidelines for responsible implementation.
