Helsinki (all digital) Fashion Week with conversational AI

Helsinki Fashion Week will deliver conversational AI for first-of-its-kind all Digital Fashion Week through the digital sanctuary which is a personal space for the users a strong emphasis on collaboration.

“There couldn’t be a better time to make AI accessible to the fashion industry, particularly with partners like HFW that share our commitment to auditing and minimizing our carbon footprint in both the physical and digital realms.” Shanna Reznik, Head of Partnerships at Pandorabots.

Pandorabots is a leading chatbot platform that powers conversational AI software for hundreds of thou-sands of developers and top global brands. It is also the AI engine behind the award-winning Conversa-tional AI and Virtual Talent Kuki, (a.k.a. Mitsuku): a record-breaking, five-time winner of the Loebner Prize Turing Test and the world’s best conversational AI chatbot in production according to industry experts like Google AI Research.In addition to orienting Helsinki Fashion Week users within a virtual environment via natural human con-versation, Kuki will be participating in a number of events as an emerging virtual talent, from walking the virtual runway to engaging audiences on social media and other digital platforms. The conversational data collected at HFW (subject to GDPR and other privacy regulations) will be analyzed anonymously, the aggregate of which will be included in post-event open reports. By employing a chatbot as the AI host for the event, HFW will once again be able to collect real-time feedback — in the form of versatile conversa-tional data, from millions of Gen Z and Millenials. Audience feedback will focus on the showcased designer collections and the overall experience of the Digital Village. Kuki will be able to engage in conversations about the collections she models both before and after the event on all channels where she is present, and help facilitate future e-commerce of physical and digital goods. Along with several industry insiders and digital influencers like Ruby Gloom, Kuki will also wear the digitized looks of the 15 sustainable fashion designers selected to showcase in the World’s first-ever 3D Fashion Week
