AI Guidelines-Fashion Design

The below guidelines for Fashion Design outline Artificial Intelligence (AI) usage in the classroom for the 2024/2025 academic year. These guidelines were developed by the Artificial Intelligence Working Group (AIWG), which included six Chairs and should be followed in tandem with the CCS Institutional AI Statement. If faculty or students have questions about the implementation of these guidelines in the classroom, they should contact achoklat@collegeforcreativestudies.edu

In Fashion Design, AI is currently being utilized numerous creative ways. Based on that usage, concerns are being brought forward related to Fashion Design. It is assumed that in the next five years, AI systems will impact the Fashion Design discipline further and the guidelines offered below allow for applicable student preparation.

  • Traditional skill development will continue to be the focus for Fashion Design.
  • AI systems may be used in the classroom at all classes offered at the Fashion Design department.
  • AI use within the curriculum will abide by the guidelines offered in the CCS Institutional AI Statement.
    • Should the faculty member wish to offer an exception to the guidelines, that must be stated in writing and approved by the Chair, Aki Choklat.
  • Pedagogical methodologies in all courses within Fashion Design will place greater emphasis on active learning and process work to ensure students can evidence their efforts within assigned projects.

The CCS Academic Integrity Policy has been revised to include AI-related concerns.

As AI technology is evolving, these, and the institution’s, guidelines will change as context requires.
