SEEING A.I. in FASHION National Conference
SAIF 2019
National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT Kannur Campus, Kerala)
29-30 May 2019
Department of Design Space and Department of Fashion Design is co-organizing the “Seeing Artificial Intelligence in Fashion” (SAIF) Conference 2019.
The Conference
Artificial Intelligence is changing the way we think and act. Over the last two decades, with the great advancement of computer technology, academic research in artificial intelligence (AI) and its applications in design, fashion and textiles has been becoming a very hot topic and has received greater attention from both academics and industrialists. Meanwhile, large amount of data created by various mobile platforms, social media interactions and e-commerce transactions in the emerging online fashion business provide an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to study and develop systems for understanding consumer behaviors and tailoring the services of online platforms by effective use of AI. It has already empowered manufacturing process through automation and increased its efficiency many folds. Now A.I. is rapidly redefining the areas of cognition and decision-making in design, and its management and technology.
AI has through the use of Big Data given leverage to Fashion Industry by speeding up the processes of trends identification, finding the right customer and marketing its products. As we race against time and when technological innovation is happening at an exponential rate, it is inescapable that we do a fact check on where we stand in fashion in terms of utilizing A.I. to our advantage.
