Fashion Reborn: The Age of AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been disrupting all industries and professional sectors. Fashion is no exception.

Fashion Law London is proud to host an event fully devoted to exploring the impact, challenges, and potential of AI for the fashion industry from a commercial, legal, and policy standpoint.

Join us in central London or online (live streaming) on Monday, 13 May for an afternoon of discussions led by key thinkers in the fashion and legal worlds, which will serve you to tackle all things AI from a fresh perspective and equip yourself with the knowledge and confidence needed to comprehend and drive effectively the change prompted by this unprecedented technological revolution.

Topics

The event consists of 3 main blocks:

• Block 1 maps uses of AI in fashion, having regard to both predictive and generative AI;
• Block 2 explores the intellectual property (IP) dimension of AI in fashion, considering (i) liability for the training phase; (ii) liability for the use of AI tools in fashion; and (iii) protectability of AI-generated fashion outputs;
• Block 3 is devoted to the regulatory, commercial, and data protection/privacy dimension. Among other things, it considers regulatory efforts around the globe, including the EU AI Act, and the applicabilty of the EU and UK data protection/privacy frameworks to AI development.
