Designers Are Unable To Ensure That AI Is Involved In Costume Design.

After the AlphaGo fire, people began to discuss what industries will replace human beings in artificial intelligence.

A computer science professor at Tsinghua University says that industries that rely on rules will be threatened by AI because they can be modeled.

The implication is that AI is difficult to replace human beings, such as art, without objective standards.

However, as AlphaGo's level ratio is,

With the coming of more than ten years ahead of schedule, the level of AI art seems to have been developing unexpectedly.

According to FastCompany, last night's Met Gala in New York, a gleaming dress was designed by IBM cognitive robot Watson (Watson).

It is reported that Kakarolina Kurkova (Karolina Kurkova) wearing a skirt designed by the British design studio Marchesa (Marchesa) and Watson co design.

This set of white gauze, embroidered with 150 LED lanterns, proves that human beings and robots can work together to create something seemingly impossible.

For the design of this dress, Marchesa

At the beginning, I chose five emotions that I wanted to express: joy, patience, excitement, encouragement and curiosity.

Then, they put the two data sets into the IBM color identification tool -- a color psychology matching algorithm for emotional color.

These two datasets contain reference drawings from different designers and Marchesa's own skirt, allowing Watson to choose and purify the color matching design concept.

The function of color discrimination is not to tell the designer how to do it directly, but to provide a palette to realize the designer's idea.

IBM researcher said, "basically, the machine guides designers."

Specifically, the LED lamp on the dress embroidery is a tone analyzer API connected to Watson's analysable tone. With the changes in the content of two tags on the site, #MetGala can generate and change the color of the dress from the palette in real time.

If the text shows that the value of "happiness" is high, IBM will discriminate it, let the skirt shine bright rosy light, and if the "excitability" value is high, then the lantern will add a layer of shadow.

In this sense, Marchesa dress is not designed by Watson, but designed by Watson.

On the basis of human opinions, relying on computers to reduce the process of simplification is actually cheating.

But from a scientific point of view, Jeff Arns, a Watson strategy analyst, said that this is indeed the support of technological innovation.

This effect is only a small skill for Watson. Its greatest significance lies in the coordination of AI technology and human beings. It can help mankind to strengthen their own creations.

Designers such as Ellis Van Hoben (Iris van Herpen) began to use technology as a way of inspiring a few years ago, but the cooperation between IBM and Marchesa was more about the initiative of ideas rather than just actual production.

Looking back at the previous chef Watson, it can use cognitive learning to give people advice on recipes and food matching.

So Watson's creativity is not just to tell designers or chefs what to do, but to help them think - how to do and expand their thinking.

At present, the development of AI technology is in the sense of perception.

Like the stage of cognitive intelligence, Watson's initiative and creativity has made artificial intelligence technology a higher level in the pursuit of "human like".

As Jeff Arns puts it, "we believe that technology is of considerable ancillary significance, and perhaps one day it will create real design."
