How will the evolution of AI technology affect the textile industry?

Recently, ChatGPT has become popular all over the Internet, becoming the fastest growing consumer application in history. So, how will the evolution of AI technology affect the textile and garment industry chain? The editor consulted textile-related experts and scholars on this issue.

Shaoxing College of Arts and Sciences replied to the professor that his research field is the intelligent detection of textiles based on machine vision. Regarding how AI is applied in the textile industry, the editor summarized the following points:

Question: Fabric production and clothing design are key links in the textile and clothing production process. What changes do you think the development of AI technology will bring to them?

Answer: First of all, I think the development of AI technology will further promote the intelligence of fabric production. In the future, fabric production will gradually realize "complete intelligence". The development of AI technology can help reduce the labor cost of fabric production, thereby achieving a high degree of intelligence in the production workshop. Secondly, the application of AI technology can also directly associate fabric design with consumers, and quickly realize private customization. Secondly, in the process of fabric identification, the application of AI technology can improve its accuracy, thereby shortening the fabric production cycle and improving the efficiency of new fabric development. Of course, for some fabric defects that appear in the production process, AI technology can also carry out online identification and positioning, and combined with robots to achieve defect revision.

Question: How do you think the evolution of AI technology will affect fashion design?

Answer: AI technology can help realize the innovation of design concepts and design methods in the process of clothing design. With the help of AI technology, we can predict and quickly retrieve the popular colors, patterns and styles of future clothing in the context of big data. At the same time, users and consumers can also input relevant parameters with the help of AI technology to realize fast online fitting, and the back-end warehouse can also use 3D printing technology to realize personalized private customization.

Question: What new changes will AI technology bring to the apparel industry?

Answer: The development of AI technology can help realize the industrialization of wearable clothing. In the analysis of fabric composition, AI technology can quickly respond to the original structure and composition ratio of the fabric, and realize the industrialization of smart wearable clothing fabrics, such as producing some navigable fabrics that change with the orientation, and smart fabrics that change color according to emotional changes. Color changing fabric.

The development of AI technology is also of great significance to the protection of pattern copyright. The editor interviewed Professor Zheng Dejun of Zhejiang University of Technology. He said that the advancement of AI technology can help textile practitioners better understand the copyright of patterns, enhance awareness of copyright protection, and re-create original patterns and patterns according to their own conditions. Revise. At the same time, the protection of pattern copyright can also be promoted through big data technology. Of course, relevant laws and regulations to protect content created by AI technology have yet to be improved.

To sum up, with the help of the ever-evolving AI technology, the textile industry can transform and reshape the specific links in the industrial chain from top to bottom, but at the same time, it also needs to be alert to the potential risks that may be brought to the industry during the process of technological application development. risk.
