And the ongoing debate in the academic world about the pros and cons of using this technology in the educational process in various higher education institutions. Here, universities and colleges have the task of leading the scientific discussion in a targeted manner and basing the expected change on solid scientific foundations in order to avoid negative effects of the use of artificial intelligence, as it is a technology that is available to everyone and is difficult to limit therefore, it must be employed in a way that serves the educational process, increases the quality of program outputs, and helps in promoting the product of scientific research in educational institutions according to a well-studied scientific methodology. Therefore, Oman College of Management and Technology, and on its behalf Dr. Hazem Miqdadi as the President of the proposed conference, intends to host the International Conference on Sustainable Design and Artificial Intelligence, Challenges and Opportunities (SDAICO-2024). It welcomes interested scientists and practitioners to present their knowledge about recent developments in theoretical and experimental research from all fields of design. Modern applications of artificial intelligence in design education, its current applications in the labor market and addressing best practices.
