AI in Fashion

2nd Dec 2020

Whilst attention grabbing headlines preach false dangers of AI in becoming all-powerful, replacing the need for people or worse, becoming a danger to us, they detract from the reality – that AI’s real value and potential lies in enhancing existing workflows, efficiencies and roles.

This Spotlight endeavours to showcase the short, medium and long term practical use cases of AI, and what is needed in terms of tech and talent to get the ball rolling.
