Abstract

The article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its integration into fashion processes, focusing on the research, design, development, and manufacturing stages. First, it offers an overview of AI evolution, from its early developments to the contemporary advanced Machine and Deep learning models, attempting to tackle the challenge of ambiguous terminology and aiming to deal with the different interpretations of AI capabilities. Subsequently, a review of the perspectives on the integration of AI tools within fashion processes will be presented. This overview will underscore the growing need for industries to undergo a conscious technological transformation, adopting AI toward a more sustainable and responsible fashion evolution.
