With inconsistent sizing costing the global fashion industry billions annually in returns, retailers are desperately searching for a solution.

New AI technology, pioneered by a former Savile Row tailor, is trying to target the sizing issue at its source: the production line.

In womenswear the rate of returns can be about 50%, leaving both the brands and the customer unsatisfied.

At Fit Collective, the AI tool surveys analyses lots of aspects of the garments from returns data to customer feedback, then serves up an actionable insight to help the brand improve fit.

AI Decoded focusses on one of the most urgent, tangible uses of artificial intelligence: health care — we speak to Dr Regina Barzilay, an MIT professor who is building machine-learning AI models to predict disease.

She herself was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014, and has used that experience and knowledge to target her research towards prevention — the AI model she and her team built, named MIRAI, is now able to detect a patient’s risk of developing breast cancer within five years.

Are we on the brink of a revolution in treating cancer for everyone? Find out on AI Decoded…

Joining presenter Christian Fraser is AI Decoded co-host Stephanie Hare and the BBC’s AI correspondent Marc Cieslak
