Researchers have developed a generative AI framework to create novel motifs for traditional Ulos textiles, a cultural heritage of the Batak people in North Sumatra, Indonesia. By fine-tuning Protogen v3.4 and Stable Diffusion v1.4 on a dataset of Ulos motifs, the models can generate designs that balance cultural consistency with contemporary aesthetic demands. Protogen v3.4 demonstrated superior performance over Stable Diffusion v1.4, achieving significantly better visual fidelity and diversity. The study also identified optimal parameter settings for generating high-quality, diverse Ulos motifs, suggesting AI can support the creative renewal of intangible cultural heritage. AI
