SPEAKERS
Frederic Kerber
Head of Innovative Retail Laboratory @ DFKI
Application-oriented AI research with the Innovative Retail Laboratory for the Retail of the Future
What will the retail sector of the future look like? How can artificial intelligence help customers and employees in retail? The team of the Innovative Retail Laboratory (IRL) of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) is investigating these and other questions. This talk will briefly introduce the IRL and show examples of its demonstrators that illustrate the practical applicability of artificial intelligence. More at the Quick-Info section!

AI in Fashion: How each drives the other forward
Fashion is the summation of aesthetic choices of individuals about what to wear. These choices are influenced by the social environment, including design, manufacturing, distribution, and marketing of fashion articles. Fashion presents considerable challenges for AI due to this complexity of topics and constantly changing fashion trends. These challenges drive AI forward. At the same time, AI has brought much to fashion and there is considerable potential to change even more. AI can improve what clothing options are available and accessible. Making it easier for people to find clothes that fit them well and that they feel great wearing and sharing. It can help reduce the environmental impact of fashion through more efficient manufacturing methods and optimised delivery. I will be talking about these benefits, many of which we already offer at Zalando, but also about how we need to be aware of the potential pitfalls of fashion AI and work to avoid them. For example, if implemented poorly, fashion AI could undermine data privacy or speed up unsustainable manufacturing practices.
Quick Info
The Innovative Retail Laboratory (IRL) is an application-oriented research laboratory of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). The IRL is working on retail technologies and systems for a connected society that supports the entire purchasing process – from planning and preparation, through assistance in walking through the supermarket, to post-sales follow-up at home. Next-generation IT systems need new interaction paradigms that enable fast and natural handling. Intuitive usability, individual preferences and personalized information presentation are basic requirements for the acceptance and efficiency of future assistance systems.
