Abstract

This article explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can contribute to future scenario projection through the lens of Strategic Design, anticipating and mitigating future challenges in the context of transformations. It is argued that technological advances and the accumulation of data offer valuable tools for predicting future scenarios and planning strategic interventions. Through a systematic literature review, the study seeks to investigate the integration of Strategic Design with AI and Big Data as a proactive approach to dealing with extreme events such as natural disasters, health crises, and socio-environmental imbalances. The intersection between Artificial Intelligence technology and strategic design makes adopting more effective preventive measures possible, guaranteeing a more resilient and sustainable response to imminent challenges. The analysis reveals that while AI and Big Data provide advanced tools for analyzing and projecting future scenarios, interdisciplinary collaboration and Strategic Design are essential for translating these projections into concrete and effective actions. The study contributes to the literature by providing an in-depth understanding of how the synergy between technology, design, and risk management can facilitate overcoming social and environmental challenges. However, the importance of an informed and adaptable strategic outlook in the information age is reiterated.
