Type: article
Abstract: Design Thinking is a human-centered approach to designing with an innovative vision. In Software Engineering, Design Thinking facilitates a deep understanding of user needs, which can significantly impact software development. However, the software industry has not fully adopted Design Thinking to realize its benefits. This may be due to a combination of factors, including the time-consuming nature of Design Thinking. Simultaneously, breakthroughs in the field of Artificial Intelligence foster synergy with Design Thinking, producing both benefits and challenges; one benefit is reduced tasks' time. However, the combination of Design Thinking, Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering still has unknown aspects. With the purpose of identifying the synergies among these three disciplines, we conducted a scoping review. The process yielded five articles: two from 2024 and three from 2025, even though the search included results from 2022 onward. This could be related to the potential that Artificial Intelligence has achieved in the last two years, which allows for combining the three disciplines. To classify the synergy among the three disciplines, we conducted a Thematic Analysis of the search results. This paper contributes with the analysis of different aspects related to the combination of the three disciplines, and a discussion of some interesting facets of our findings, providing a general overview to allow future research and decision-making.
