18 As Artificially Intelligent machines become more and more powerful, their ability to accomplish 4
tedious tasks is becoming better. Hence, it is now that AI machines have started replacing
humans in factories. While people see it in a negative way and say AI has the power to bring
mass unemployment and one day, machines would enslave humans, on the other hand, other
people say that machines are meant to ease our lives. If machines over take monotonous and
tedious tasks, humans should upgrade their skills to remain their masters always.

What according to you is a better approach towards this ethical concern? Justify your answer.

Explain your answer.
ii. How would the fashion company go about training the generative AI
model? What kind of data would they need to collect?
