Key findings
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is set to impact, but not transform, the work of tailors, dressmakers, and custom sewers.
These blue-collar jobs are unlikely to be automated due to the physical nature of the tasks involved.
Increased demand for premium goods may even lead to a rise in income for these workers.
While some skills like digital data processing could be automated in the future, tasks requiring active listening, critical thinking, and time management will continue to be essential in this profession.
How could AI or automation replace or complement job activities?
Artisans who create custom clothing could benefit from AI and automation tools like ChatGPT.
These tools could assist in tasks such as measuring, altering, and sewing garments.
However, the intricate artistry and attention to detail required in fitting and designing bespoke clothing may limit the extent to which AI could fully replace these skilled professionals.
For instance, AI could accurately measure customers and record data, but the nuanced adjustments and creative decisions involved in garment design may still require human expertise to ensure a perfect fit and style.
Job description
Design, make, alter, repair, or fit clothes.
