How AI Is Being Used To Combat fakes In Luxury Market
The luxury goods industry faces a persistent challenge in combating counterfeit products and brands are AI to identify and shut down fraudulent online retailers, authenticate products, and enhance customer experiences. Counterfeiters have become increasingly sophisticated in their methods, making it difficult for brands to protect their reputation and maintain the quality associated with their name.
To address this issue, Artificial intelligence has emerged as a powerful tool in the fight against counterfeit luxury goods. AI and machine learning (ML) algorithms have been employed to analyze vast amounts of data, such as product images and packaging, to identify unique patterns and characteristics of authentic products. This technology enables brands to detect and identify counterfeit products more efficiently than ever before. Here are some examples of how AI is being used to combat fakes in the luxury retail industry:
1. AI-Powered Authentication
Companies like Goat and Entrupy have developed AI algorithms that…
analyze massive databases of information on top luxury goods to detect even the smallest anomalies. These algorithms help ensure that customers receive authentic products and protect the reputation of luxury brands.
Goat, an online platform for luxury sneaker resellers, has experienced a surge in counterfeit sneakers as they surpass luxury handbags in popularity. To tackle this issue, Goat resellers submit photos of their shoes for human experts to analyze before shipping the shoes to Goat for AI authentication.
The company’s AI solution verifies the expert review and builds a use case database to improve its accuracy over time. Entrupy, on the other hand, focuses on luxury handbags and uses a “convolutional neural network” supported by a large database of photographs of genuine bags, some dating back as far as 80 years.
This technology allows Entrupy to identify microscopic details that are difficult for counterfeiters to reproduce, ensuring the authenticity of the products they evaluate. These AI algorithms are not only effective in detecting counterfeit goods but also provide valuable insights into customer preferences and buying behaviors…
