Levi's AI model diversity plan sparks controversy.

Levi's is partnering with AI studio Lalaland.ai to create "hyper realistic" AI models to supplement human models and increase diversity. The denim company plans to test showing models of different body sizes on its website and app later this year. However, critics argue that the company could achieve the same goal by hiring real-life humans who work as professional models and deserve to be paid for their work. The announcement comes at a time when body diversity in the fashion industry is shrinking.
