Where this applies
United States. The retailer's annual report says it uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to drive efficiencies in functions including owned-brand design, that its technology enables it to automate the rapid identification of new trends and emerging brands, and that its team develops owned brands using proprietary data analytics to identify trends and assortment gaps and inform design and merchandising decisions. The company's own description; it does not say how much concept work AI does or report any change in designers' numbers or hours.
What this means

What it does not yet show
