With just days to go before the opening of the 2025 CIBJO Congress in Paris on 27 October, the tenth and final pre-congress Special Report has been released. Prepared by the CIBJO Technology Committee, chaired by St\u00e9phane Fischler, the report delves into the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) across the jewellery industry \u2014 assessing both its opportunities and challenges while cutting through the myths surrounding the technology.<\/p>\n
\u201cAI is neither inherently good nor bad; its success depends on how it is used,\u201d noted Fischler. \u201cOrganisations that succeed in integrating AI creatively, strategically and ethically will see productivity soar while remaining firmly in charge of the decision-making process.\u201d<\/p>\n
Highlighting the industry\u2019s traditional emphasis on heritage and craftsmanship, the report calls for a mindset shift to embrace experimentation and innovation. \u201cAI requires calculated risk-taking,\u201d Fischler said. \u201cFrom generative design to forecasting, companies must create \u2018safe to fail\u2019 spaces where proposed solutions are debated and innovation is encouraged,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The report also cautions against over-reliance on automation. \u201cLuxury jewellery thrives on stories of artisanship and human connection,\u201d Fischler observed. AI should support, not overshadow, the human creativity that defines fine jewellery, he noted.<\/p>\n
Contributors to the report include Elle Hill (Hill & Co.), Mahiar Borhanjoo (De Beers Group), Thomas Baillod (BA111OD), David Block (Sarine Technologies), Daniel Nyfeler (G\u00fcbelin), and Emmanuel Piat (Maison Piat).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
