Abstract

AI digitalisation and automation are rapidly transforming the apparel industry, creating the need for a radical evolution of the workforce at all stages of apparel production. This study explores how AI digitalisation and automation is transforming the skills required by the human workforce as well as examined how the future workforce might be trained. The study employed a qualitative approach, conducting semi-structured interviews with 21 participants from 5 different countries. Findings indicate intellectual, innovative, and creative jobs will be in significant demand in the future of AI and automation. Results indicate digital and technical skills should be emphasised in training of employees, over soft skills. The study suggests that industry and academia must collaborate in identifying and forecasting future skills requirements of the apparel workforce, and that sustainable and ethical practices be followed in technology implementation within the future apparel industry.

服装行业的人工智能数字化和自动化以及人类劳动力技能
人工智能数字化和自动化正在迅速改变服装行业,在服装生产的各个阶段都需要彻底改变劳动力。本研究探讨了人工智能数字化和自动化如何改变人类劳动力所需的技能,并研究了如何培训未来的劳动力。该研究采用了定性方法,对来自5个不同国家的21名参与者进行了半结构化访谈。研究结果表明,在人工智能和自动化的未来,智力、创新和创造性工作将有很大的需求。结果表明,在培训员工时应强调数字和技术技能,而不是软技能。该研究表明,工业界和学术界必须合作,以确定和预测服装劳动力的未来技能需求,并在未来服装行业的技术实施中遵循可持续和道德的做法。
