AI has become one of the most talked about technologies. A lot of the hype makes AI seem like a magic wand that can do anything or an evil demon that will leave massive numbers of people without jobs. 

While it's unlikely, at least for now, that these extreme cases are true, there is little doubt that AI is a technology we need to understand. 

For most companies, the challenge is identifying what are practical use cases for AI in their organizations. 

I'm Jane Singer and welcome back to A Seat at the Table. On this show, we sit down with leading entrepreneurs, innovators, and thought leaders to get a close-up look at the technologies and developments that are impacting industry. 

Today, I am joined by professor Calvin Wong, CEO and center director of AID Lab and Chung Yee Kung, endowed professor in fashion of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

Professor Wong is ranked among the world's top 2 percent of most cited scientists in the field of artificial intelligence and image processing with over a 170 high impact journal publications. 

His work bridges industry and academia. 

In 2019, he worked with one of the world's largest online shopping platforms to establish the first of its kind fashion AI dataset. 

In 2022, he and his team developed the world's first design led AI system, AI based interactive design assistant for fashion, otherwise known as AIDA.

 In this podcast, professor Wong will be discussing:

  • The top myths around AI that need to be busted
  • The role that humans are playing in AI driven design applications
  • The most practical use case for AI in textile manufacturing
  • What might be the next gen application of AI in the apparel and textile industry.
