| Executive Summary: |
To mark 20 years of its Real Beauty platform, Dove launched "Real Beauty Generation" — a groundbreaking initiative to help redefine how AI sees and represents women. Built in collaboration with Adobe and body positivity experts, the campaign centred on a first-of-its-kind microsite that trains generative AI to reflect the diverse, human beauty of South African women. At a time when synthetic beauty norms are being encoded into AI platforms, Dove stepped in to ensure real women are not digitally erased. |
