In the third session of VOICES, some of fashion’s most promising innovators grappled with the costs and benefits of this century’s most exciting technology.

Generative AI is already changing fields such as design and marketing, and while it presents a number of very real threats, it also holds potential benefits for all of humanity.

The tech likely to have the biggest impact on fashion in the immediate future isn’t virtual reality or NFTs.

The technology that will replace the smartphone, tools that enable us to be our best selves and tech-based solutions to address critical global challenges were among the topics discussed by speakers like former Apple designer Imran Chaudhri, Dame Stephanie Shirley and Shopify president Harley Finkelstein.
