Stanford HAI Welcomes LVMH to the Corporate Affiliates Program
The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI is pleased to announce that luxury group LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) has joined as a member of the Stanford HAI Corporate Affiliate Program’s Consumer Goods, Retail & AI focus area.
The program is geared specifically to the retail sector, focusing on areas including AI safety, human-centered design, human-computer interaction, and foundation models.
The LVMH luxury group, whose brands include notably Louis Vuitton, Sephora, Hennessy, Tiffany & Co., Christian Dior Couture & Parfums, Fendi, and Givenchy, will work with faculty and students to better understand current advances in this technology and how to augment employees without replacing them.
“Stanford HAI’s mission focuses on how to properly design and build human-centered AI to have positive human impacts,” said James Landay, vice director and director of research for Stanford HAI. “It’s key to collaborate with industry leaders, especially one so steeped in design, to ensure technology is developed with people top of mind.”
“We are poised to guide AI's evolution in creative and consumer industries, an area relatively underexplored compared to enterprise applications,” says Panos Madamopoulos-Moraris, Stanford HAI’s Managing Director for Industry Programs and Partnerships. “We look forward to working with LVMH, our first European member, as we aim to augment creative minds, enable the safe development of large models in luxury, and translate Artificial Intelligence into Actionable Impact, shaping industries that touch lives worldwide."
“At LVMH we have been promoting human creativity and craftsmanship for decades. In recent years artificial intelligence has become a powerful assistant that makes us more efficient. It's important to embrace and take advantage of these ground-breaking technologies but do it in the right way that is virtuous for our future as companies, people and society,” says Anca Marola, LVMH Chief Data Officer. “We are very excited to be the first group in our field to join the Stanford HAI corporate affiliate program and its leading scientific team and contribute to shaping the future.”
The HAI Corporate Affiliate Program engages with companies that share HAI’s mission to advance AI research, education, policy, and practice to improve the human condition. The program provides the opportunity for these companies to interact with Stanford faculty as well as other corporate members, through educational experiences, lectures, research, and more.
