Researchers from Meta and Cornell University created a fashion map of 37 cities using artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence experts, on the other hand, claimed that this could cause digital discrimination in the future.
Artificial intelligence, which we used to see only in science fiction movies, has started to have a great importance in every aspect of our lives in recent years. Countries and companies are also constantly working to understand how to use artificial intelligence most effectively. In fact, our country aims to be the first country to set ‘professional standards’ in the field of artificial intelligence. had succeeded.
Meta, one of the largest technology companies in the world, is constantly working in the field of artificial intelligence. of meta engineers working in the field of artificial intelligence, announced that they made a fashion map of 37 cities around the world using millions of photos.
Artificial intelligence will follow future fashion trends
In the project prepared in partnership with New York Cornell University and Meta, shared publicly on Instagram and Flickr. More than 7 million photos, classified according to the location where the photos were taken. Then, with the help of artificial intelligence, it was determined which clothes the people in these photos were wearing, and Fashion maps of 37 cities have been released.
The study determined that in most of Chicago and New York, men predominantly wear suits and plain clothes, while women in the same region are predominantly prefers dark colored clothes. In Austin, Texas, women generally prefer floral and white dresses.
In Sydney, one of the largest cities in Australia, individuals usually wear glasses, wearing sleeveless t-shirts It was found that they did not wear necklaces. In the study, maps were made for 37 cities full of such details.

May cause ‘algorithmic discrimination’
Artificial intelligence software supported by Amazon is also in the project. GeoStyle was also used. In the research, it was understood that different fashion trends are common in different parts of almost every city. Although Meta officials say that this research is done for purely scientific purposes, many experts say that this and similar studies are “algorithmic discriminationannounced that it could result in
Algorithmic discrimination is an artificial intelligence or computer-based software that separates individuals and groups from each other. characterizing one group as superior and privileged over another means. In other words, experts fear that in the future artificial intelligence may ‘digital discrimination’ on people.
Meta, thanks to this research, can predict the fashion trends of artificial intelligence in the near future and even announced that he can give direction to fashion.
