Abstract
<jats:p>The study, titled From Artificial Intelligence: Competencies for Design in Emerging Creative Environments, aims to determine the competencies linked to the use of Artificial Intelligence in the training of designers, as well as to examine its impact on the professional environment. The advancement of AI has reconfigured not only the tools for design practice, but also the essential dynamics of the creative process. In emerging human-AI collaboration [HAIC] scenarios, these systems operate as cooperative agents and not merely as support tools. However, even though design students are progressively incorporating these technologies into their practice, a gap persists in the development of fundamental competencies for establishing effective interaction with these systems. Therefore, the need to strengthen disciplinary training through competencies that integrate critical interpretation, collaborative interaction, ethical and metacognitive reflection, in addition to specialized technical mastery is recognized. Based on the above, this research is structured around a comprehensive review of scientific literature, analysing studies retrieved from specialized databases in both design and higher education. The methodology will adopt the PRISMA [2021] systematic review protocol, which will ensure a rigorous process for the identification, selection, and synthesis of emerging competencies. The findings will be presented through graphic visualizations, and the discussion will incorporate relevant case studies. Ultimately, the study aims to offer an in-depth theoretical and methodological framework for future lines of research, highlighting the strategic role of AI competencies in the academic achievement and professional development of designers. These competencies are essential for overcoming limitations related to the originality, quality, and coherence of creative proposals, indispensable elements for competitive performance in educational and professional contexts.</jats:p>
