AI Against Counterfeits
Last year, a luxury handbag maker discovered something troubling: its latest multi-thousand dollar design was being sold on an online marketplace for $89, complete with what appeared to be their official product photos.

The global counterfeit trade has exploded to roughly $500 billion annually — a figure that would make it the world's 10th-largest economy if counterfeiting were a country. Digital platforms have inadvertently become the perfect storm for counterfeiters: massive scale, anonymous sellers, and limited oversight create an environment where knockoffs can flourish faster than authentic products can be protected.
