AI is taking over all our jobs!

Scared Humans all over the globe

Will it though? Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that deals with the creation of intelligent agents, which are systems that can reason, learn, and act autonomously. AI research has been highly successful (so far) in developing effective techniques for solving a wide range of problems in multiple industry including the fashion industry. The part that we understand, scare us the most is the “autonomous” aspect of it. We as human, like to have a certain amount of control over the outcome of anything we interact with, so it is understandable to panic.

AI is a rapidly evolving field, and new techniques are being developed all the time. As AI technology continues to develop, it is likely to have a profound impact on our lives. And it has already begun!

Here are a few ways in which AI has already started to impact us in the fashion industry:

  • AI-powered design: AI is being used to create new fashion designs, by analyzing large amounts of data on consumer preferences, trends, and materials. This can help designers create more innovative and market-driven designs, while also reducing the risk of producing designs that don’t sell.
  • AI-powered manufacturing: AI is also being used to improve the efficiency and sustainability of fashion manufacturing. For example, AI can be used to optimize production lines, reduce waste, and improve quality control.
  • AI-powered personalization: AI can be used to personalize the fashion experience for consumers. For example, AI can be used to recommend products based on a customer’s past purchases, style preferences, and body measurements.
  • AI-powered sustainability: AI can be used to make the fashion industry more sustainable. For example, AI can be used to track the environmental impact of fashion production, identify sustainable materials, and design more efficient supply chains.

As AI technology continues to develop, it is likely to have an even greater impact on the industry in the future. Some of the potential future impacts of AI on fashion include:

  • More personalized fashion: AI-powered personalization will become even more sophisticated, allowing consumers to find clothes that are perfectly tailored to their individual needs and preferences.
  • More sustainable fashion: AI will be used to develop more sustainable materials and production processes, making the fashion industry more environmentally friendly.
  • More immersive fashion experiences: AI will be used to create more immersive fashion experiences, such as virtual fitting rooms and augmented reality try-ons.
  • More ethical fashion: AI will be used to track the ethical sourcing of materials and ensure that workers are treated fairly in the fashion supply chain.
  • AI-powered shopping: AI will be used to create more personalized and convenient shopping experiences. For example, AI can be used to recommend products based on a customer’s past purchases, style preferences, and body measurements. AI can also be used to create virtual fitting rooms and augmented reality try-ons, which will allow consumers to try on clothes before they buy them.
  • AI-powered marketing: AI will be used to create more targeted and effective marketing campaigns. For example, AI can be used to track customer behavior and interests, and then deliver relevant marketing messages to those customers. AI can also be used to create personalized product recommendations, which can help to increase sales.
  • AI-powered customer service: AI will be used to provide more efficient and personalized customer service. For example, AI can be used to answer customer questions, resolve issues, and provide product recommendations. AI can also be used to create chatbots that can provide customer service 24/7.

The impact of AI on the fashion industry is still unfolding, but it is clear that AI has the potential to revolutionise the way we shop for, wear, and think about fashion.

How can designers benefit from using AI in fashion?

As designers, we should embrace AI. Instead of viewing the new technology as a threat (much like we did the internet was first launch back in the 80s), we should see it as an intelligent companion. As mention in our bullet points above, AI has been shown to help with improving design creation, increasing efficiency, personalising fashion and sustainability, and excelling in the manufacturing side. We can expect to see even more innovative and groundbreaking applications in the future, therefore, it is best to get on board now and grow with the technology.
