What is acclerando.Ai?
"Accelerando" is an Italian musical term that means "getting faster and faster." We started this event to help people experience how the world is changing at an accelerating pace due to generative AI.
It is expected that the development of AI will bring about major changes in creative activities in the future. I believe that in a world where everyone is creating, traditional fashion brands will become something completely different from what they used to be.
