AI & the future of this role
While AI-generated models and digital avatars are increasingly used in fashion (reducing demand for human models), the unique expressiveness, adaptability, and artistic collaboration required for high-end fashion or artistic posing remains difficult to fully automate. Human presence and emotional connection still hold value in live shows and bespoke artistic contexts.
