Strategic Integration of AIGC in Asian Elderly Fashion: Human-Centric Design Enhancement and Algorithmic Bias Neutralization

Abstract: The advent of Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) has catalyzed transformative shifts in the domain of fashion design, providing novel opportunities for customization and innovation. This research delineates the strategic integration of AIGC within Asian elderly fashion design, critically examining its role in augmenting human-centric design principles while addressing the prevalent algorithmic biases. The objective is to empirically assess the efficacy of AIGC in creating designs that resonate with the functional and aesthetic preferences of the elderly Asian demographic. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study first delineates the current limitations and potential enhancements AIGC offers to the fashion design process. Through iterative design experiments, AIGC applications are evaluated for their capacity to accommodate the nuanced needs of the target population. Concurrently, a fuzzy evaluation method systematically quantifies the feedback from design practitioners, revealing the salient factors and their relative influence on the AIGC-driven design process. Findings from the study highlight the dichotomy between AIGC's potential for personalized design and the inherent risks of reinforcing biases. The analysis provides a granular understanding of the interplay between AIGC capabilities and user-centered design requirements, emphasizing the necessity for a calibrated approach that prioritizes ethical considerations. The study culminates in a set of actionable guidelines that advocate for the integration of comprehensive educational modules on AIGC technologies in design curricula, aiming to bridge the interdisciplinary gap and enhance designer preparedness. The conclusion underscores the imperative for ongoing scrutiny of AIGC outputs, advocating for the development of robust frameworks that ensure equitable and inclusive design practices. Through this research, a path is charted toward the responsible utilization of AIGC, fostering a fashion industry that is adaptive, empathetic, and attuned to the diverse spectrum of aging consumers in Asia.
