Ethical implications of artificial intelligence in the fashion industry

In fashion domain, companies increasingly navigate a complex web of data involving intricate correlations, dependencies, and the unpredictability of human behavior. Managing these diverse data flows is critical to improving decision-making in an industry that depends on both creativity and precision. In this context, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have emerged as powerful tools that offer unparalleled efficiency in interpreting and using these huge datasets. However, as the industry moves deeper and deeper into this digital frontier, it is encountering a wide range of ethical concerns. This paper examines this intersection, exploring both the technological breakthroughs that AI is bringing to fashion and the ethical implications that accompany this digital evolution. We discuss the need for robust frameworks and guidelines to ensure the responsible use of AI, noting its potential to both increase and mitigate the fashion industry's environmental impact.
