ＡＩで着物デザイン　職人不足でも新作可能に―文京学院大と武蔵野大

　文京学院大学と武蔵野大学は２９日、生成ＡＩ（人工知能）の関連技術を活用し、着物に使われる伝統的な染め物「江戸小紋」の新しいデザインを考案したと発表した。考案する職人が後継者難で激減し、新作が生まれにくくなっており、ＡＩ技術を伝統産業の活性化に役立てたい考えだ。

Bunkyo Gakuin University and Musashino University said Wednesday that they have produced a new design of "Edo komon," finely detailed patterns dyed on kimono, by using a technology related to generative artificial intelligence.
   The two Japanese universities aim to utilize AI to revitalize the traditional industry, as the number of artists coming up with new design ideas has drastically declined, due to a lack of successors.
   The two universities looked into features of Edo komon that were popular in the past and analyzed the design processes. They developed a way to place patterns automatically, using AI-related technology.
   For the project, a pattern of sweets proposed by a student was used. The universities will continue to develop the concept so they can also create motifs and color schemes using AI.
