AI is shaking up every industry — and luxury is no exception. In this episode of Skale Up, we dive deep into how artificial intelligence is transforming the luxury sector. From predictive analytics and personalised experiences to AI-generated campaigns and the controversial use of virtual models, we explore where technology enhances creativity — and where it risks diluting authenticity.

You’ll hear real-world examples of AI in action, from Gucci collaborations with AI creatives to e-commerce’s virtual try-ons, plus the backlash some brands have faced when misusing AI. We also unpack the cultural nuances between opportunistic marketing and staying true to brand values, and why the human touch remains the ultimate luxury.
