The use of Generative AI in the textile and industrial sectors — for instance in fashion companies or in the creation of marketing content — carries significant risks if not supported by adequate detection and risk management tools. Generative models may unintentionally incorporate elements protected by intellectual property rights, such as registered styles, patented designs, or content belonging to other fashion houses.
