The Korea Textile Development Institute (KTDI) has selected 15 local fashion and sewing companies to support their artificial intelligence transformation (AX).

These companies will be provided with dedicated accounts or credits to receive specialized training on solutions applicable to their businesses and to develop AI applications suited to their operational characteristics.

Through this, the companies are expected to use AI for tasks such as design draft production, lookbook and detailed page creation, and marketing content writing, reducing the burden of repetitive work and quickly visualizing ideas to connect them to sales content.

"AI is a core technology that brings change across design, production, distribution, and marketing in the fashion industry," KTDI President Kim Sung-man said. "We will lead the way in spreading AX."
