AI may offer infinite possibilities—but does it offer authentic representation?
In Episode 4 of Rendered Real, we confront the tension between diversity and digital design. As AI-generated models flood fashion campaigns, many celebrate the tech’s ability to reflect every skin tone, body type, and identity. But is it real inclusion—or just a new form of tokenism?
We unpack how automation can unintentionally mirror the same biases that have long plagued traditional media. More importantly, we explore how intentional, ethical use of AI could redefine beauty standards—not restrict them.
💡 What you’ll hear:
- How bias enters the algorithm—and how to counter it
- Why realistic diversity requires more than visual variety
- The thin line between inclusion and aesthetic exploitation
- What “authentic representation” really means in fashion’s future
