L'Oréal and IBM: AI-Powered Beauty
Earlier this year, IBM and L'Oréal , the world’s largest cosmetics company, joined forces to use IBM's generative AI technology to transform cosmetic development. The collaboration aims to uncover new insights in product formulation, helping L'Oréal adopt more sustainable raw materials and reduce energy and material waste.
Together, they are creating a custom AI foundation model designed to empower L'Oréal's Research & Innovation team to drive higher performance and customer satisfaction across all cosmetic categories and regions worldwide.
👉 In this episode of Smart Talks with IBM, Malcolm Gladwell dives into the exciting collaboration between L'Oréal and IBM. He explores how a custom AI model could help L'Oréal’s researchers shape the future of what we put on our faces every morning.
Gen AI: One Size Doesn't Fit All
Gen AI models come in many flavors. What they can do, how well they work—and how much they cost—varies widely.
With the massive amount of data and resources it takes to train a single large language model (LLM), the question of size is monopolizing many conversations about gen AI. As a result, many CEOs wonder whether they should scale large gen AI models for their business. Or if they should develop smaller, niche models for specific purposes. The answer is, they need to do both.

1wIt's fascinating to see how companies like L'Oréal and IBM are customizing artificial intelligence for a specific goal like cosmetics. In my field, we often discuss complex models, but the key is in the application and the value they bring. Although my job doesn't directly involve AI, this shows me that our ability to analyze data is fundamental in any sector, from banking to beauty. Precision, the ability to identify patterns, and data integrity are transferable and increasingly necessary skills. Seeing this collaboration inspires me to keep perfecting my knowledge because innovation opportunities are everywhere.
