FOCUS 焦点 10 | JNA July/August 2024 Artificial intelligence (AI) is making its presence felt in the gem and jewellery industry, with various applications at the ready to enhance grading, design, sales, marketing and operational efforts. Gemmological laboratories and technology solutions firms were early adopters. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) first explored AI possibilities in 2020 when it partnered with IBM to develop a system for diamond clarity. Today, the GIA AI clarity system is fully deployed across all its laboratories worldwide and performs clarity grading for D-Z diamonds in ranges. Clear potential While it can grade diamonds of nearly all sizes and shapes, certain areas remain challenging for the machines, noted GIA Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Pritesh Patel. The system thus works alongside highly trained and experienced gemmologists and graders who are involved in the clarity grading process to ensure optimal results, such as on very large stones and high clarity stones. The institute uses AI as well in its GIA Match iD device to authenticate inscriptions, and Patel said it could eventually be applied in other areas such as coloured stone identification. Treatment detection is however one field that will still require skilled interpretation of testing data by expert graders, gemmologists and scientists, he continued. “The integration of AI into our grading process has enhanced the speed and consistency of our processes while maintaining GIA’s stringent grading methodology. This builds on many previous technical innovations and advances in instrumentation to support the work of expert and experienced diamond graders,” said Patel. | Olivia Quiniquini 程爱莉 | Artificial intelligence is proving a useful tool in many sectors of the gem and jewellery trade, with much potential waiting to be tapped.
