"The Fashion AI community is at the heart of everything we do."
On the 25th of May, during our monthly Metaverse Fashion Fest, hosted by Mext B2B, members of MFC DAO were discussing how Metaverse Fashion can benefit from Generative AI.
Today, we are going to speak about ethical issues and the future of the fashion industry with Francesca Tabor, CEO and founder of Fashion.ai, a community of innovators and designers, willing to discover the potential of generative AI together.
Francesca is an expert in emerging technologies that has experience in organizing communities and events that create value in the new emerging web3 economy.

Are there any ethical considerations or potential biases to be aware of when using AI in design? How can they be addressed?
Indeed, there are ethical considerations and potential biases that could surface when using AI in design.
AI systems, including those used in design, often learn from existing data sets. If the data used to train these systems contain biased information, the AI will likely perpetuate these biases in its outcomes. For instance, if a generative AI tool in fashion was trained mostly on Western-style clothing, it may fail to accurately or comprehensively design fashion that represents the diversity and richness of global clothing styles.
In terms of addressing these biases, it starts with data. Efforts should be made to ensure the diversity of the training data, and data should be regularly audited for fairness and representation. Biases in the data should be recognized, addressed, and mitigated during the training process.
Secondly, building transparent and explainable AI models can help identify when and where biases occur. If designers and users understand how decisions are being made by the AI, they can better identify and correct bias.
Lastly, involving a diverse group of people in the design and decision-making process can help to provide different perspectives and to challenge unconscious biases. At Fashion AI, we are aware of these challenges and continually work on refining our models and tools to ensure a more fair and equitable use of AI in design.
In your opinion, what is the future of AI in design, and what new possibilities for advancements do you foresee in this field?
The future of AI in design, and particularly in fashion design, is incredibly exciting. AI is no longer just a tool for automation – it's evolving into a creative partner that can inspire designers and facilitate the realization of their visions.
One key advancement we foresee is the increasingly sophisticated generative capabilities of AI. AI will be able to generate a wide range of design concepts based on a given set of inputs or constraints, vastly expanding the creative possibilities. We also expect to see AI becoming more intuitive and adaptive, able to respond to designers' feedback and learn from their preferences to create a truly collaborative design process.
Another major advancement will be in the field of customization. AI will enable unprecedented levels of personalization in design, allowing designers to create products that are tailor-made for individual customers' preferences and needs. This could completely redefine the relationship between brands and their customers, moving from a one-size-fits-all approach to truly personalized fashion.
At Fashion AI, we're continually exploring these possibilities, aiming to provide our community with the most advanced tools and resources to drive their creative journey. We believe the integration of AI in design will lead to a revolution in the fashion industry, and we're thrilled to be at the forefront of this exciting transformation.

Please, tell us about Fashion.ai and how the project started. What inspired you to create the Fashion.ai community?
Fashion AI began with a recognition of the immense potential that AI holds for the fashion industry and a desire to make this technology more accessible to designers, creators, and innovators. We saw a gap in the market where AI technology was advancing rapidly, but there was a lack of resources available to equip people in the fashion industry with the skills and knowledge to harness this technology effectively.
This sparked the idea to create a platform where fashion enthusiasts, digital creators, AI experts, and industry leaders could come together to learn, share, and grow. Thus, Fashion AI was born – an e-learning academy, a community, and a generative AI tool all aimed at democratizing AI in fashion.
The Fashion AI community is at the heart of everything we do. It's a vibrant and diverse network of individuals who are passionate about the intersection of fashion and technology. The community inspires us every day, and it's their curiosity, creativity, and commitment that continually drives us to innovate and grow. Through our AI tools, workshops, competitions, and networking events, we aim to foster a collaborative environment where everyone can learn and contribute, regardless of their level of experience with AI.
At Fashion AI, we're committed to nurturing this community and enabling our members to be pioneers in the digital fashion revolution.
