In this episode of "DEI in 5," we discuss Levi's partnership with Lalaland.ai to use AI-generated models for promoting diversity in their online shopping experience. We explore the implications of AI models on authentic representation, the history of diversity in the fashion industry, and the potential impact on real models' careers. Join us as we question whether this move is a genuine attempt at inclusion or just another cost-cutting measure. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more insightful discussions on diversity, equity, and inclusion. #Levis #AIModels #FashionDiversity #DEIin5 #ArtificialDiversity #model #models #fashion #brand #ootd #jeans

As a Black woman working in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI),  and as a person who has been helping bridge cultural divides since childhood, I have a really unique perspective to offer and a lot of knowledge to share. My hope is that this channel helps inspire others to achieve their goals, think outside of the box, and just... thrive, as you see fit!
