Addressing Concerns and Controversies

Naficy acknowledges potential concerns among jewelry designers regarding intellectual property rights and automation’s impact on human designers. However, she emphasizes:

1. Artisan Empowerment: Arcade’s AI model trains artisans to understand consumer preferences.
