In recent few years AI has sparked a debate about its role in the fashion industry. From Ai created designs to personalized try on experience, AI is both exciting and controversial.
I have seen concern around possibilty of design roles being replaced by AI. But I feel that is not possible .AI may create automated designs but hen it could compromise creativity and individuality. AI created designs at one point could result in homogenized aesthetic. Whereas on the other side human made designs showcases uniqueness from their personal experience .
I strongly believe AI should be seen as a complementary tool rather than a replacement. AI's capabilities could complement human creativity in pushing creative boundaries and efficiency. Using AI as a collaborative tool could be helpful in doing repetitive task , predicting trends, analyzing market, reduce risk of making designs that don't sell.
How will AI affect other jobs?
1-Manual Pattern Making- I believe repetitive pattern making in future will be completely taken over by AI.
2-Data Analyst and Trend Forecasting- AI algorithms can analyze datasets from social meida, fashion shows, and sales and use them to analyze and predict future trends and customer preferences more accurately.
3- Basic Designing- Basic repetitive designing task or could be automated by AI in the future.

6- Fashion Buyer: AI-driven algorithms and data analytics may streamline the buying process, reducing the need for traditional fashion buyers.
7-Fashion Model Agent: With the emergence of virtual models and digital influencers, the role of traditional model agents may evolve or diminish.
What will be the new jobs opportunities that AI will create

2- Fashion AI Specialist: Developing AI algorithms for personalized styling recommendations, virtual try-ons, and predictive modeling.
