Everything in the world has pros and cons, including the AI scene. From very creative and positive uses of AI to potentially dangerous ones, there’s a fine line separating them. But today, we’re gonna talk about a pretty interesting concept. We all hate receiving fake sneakers that we were looking forward to owning. But what if we told you that AI sneaker authentication is a thing, and it works? And what if we told you that AI can now authenticate your kicks by smell? Sounds like a dystopian movie kinda stuff, but we’re here for it! So, let’s see what’s up with that, shall we?
Is AI Authentication a Thing and It Works!
With the evolution of technology, we definitely have some perks that we can use in the sneaker and fashion worlds. And the latest one is quality authentication using AI! You see, companies started work on AI projects that can identify whether goods like high-end accessories and apparel are fake. That usually works by taking a picture of the item, and the program will do its job. You can read more about how different brands are implementing this right here. Now, the question is, what about AI sneaker authentication? Well, you’ll be shocked to hear the latest tea about the subject!
AI Sneaker Authentication… Through Smell?
Okay, we know that sounds weird, but bear with us on this one! Apparently, a company called Osmo, believes that the smell of your kicks is a big tell of their authenticity. Mind you, the “smell” of new kicks isn’t a new concept. In fact, many sneakerheads agree that new kicks, especially leather ones have a smell that they love to sniff (we may have done that too, so no judgment). They also agree that fakes usually have a very distinctive smell. I mean, leave it to sneaker Reddit to describe that smell for ya!
Anyway, it seems that Osmo was inspired by that concept and is using AI and sensors to achieve that goal. According to the company, AI will detect and analyze aromas and judge accordingly. However, the technology has its limitations. For example, AI sneaker authentication needs benchmark data to go off. In other words, this can only work on sneakers that are mass-produced, not that ultra-rare shoe of which 10 pairs exist in the world. Moreover, this tech can work on sneakers and accessories so far. Clothing articles are still a harder deal, but who knows? Maybe the future holds more for them!
Beyond AI Sneaker Authentication
Now, before we go, we get how important AI sneaker authentication could be, and quality insurance in general. However, if you’re gonna go down the technology road, maybe you can use it to score kicks for retail! And by that, we mean that you should get yourself a sneaker bot that will give you the best odds on drop day. Luckily for you, we have the best one out there for you, and it’s in stock! So, go on and get your NSB3 copy today to understand what the hype is about. Godspeed!
