How AI is upending the fashion industry... and how students are adapting

The fashion industry, once a bustling epicenter in New York City, is now facing a significant downturn with jobs declining by 30% over the past decade. This shift is largely due to the disruptive influence of AI, which is transforming traditional roles and processes. At New York's Fashion Institute of Technology, students are learning to adapt by incorporating AI into their designs and business models, preparing for a future where technology plays a central role. This adaptation is crucial not just for the students' careers, but for the industry's survival and innovation in an era where technology is rapidly reshaping traditional sectors.
