L'Oréal Canada is proud to have participated in ALL IN 2024, the largest forum on artificial intelligence in Canada, which was held in Montreal on September 11 and 12.
L'Oréal Canada recognizes that artificial intelligence is a real lever of transformation to invent the future of beauty and to present its innovations powered by artificial intelligence.
L'Oréal Group has more than 8,000 experts worldwide in the fields of digital, technology and data management. The digital transformation of the L'Oréal Group began almost 15 years ago and accelerated with the acquisition of the Canadian company ModiFace in 2019 to develop augmented beauty.
Annually around the world, more than a billion dollars are invested by L'Oréal in technology and IT. “Artificial intelligence today optimizes the entire value chain of the L’Oréal Group for innovative, responsible and inclusive beauty, from product design to their distribution, including customer relations,” declared Marc Dicko, Chief Digital and Marketing Officer at L'Oréal Canada. “In 2024, the company remains the undisputed leader in the beauty industry, thanks to cutting-edge technologies like augmented reality, data-driven diagnostics and smart devices, making products more personalized and tailored than ever. More than 100 million people will have used our digital services in 2023.”
Artificial intelligence also makes it possible to identify new trends, understand consumer needs and develop ever more innovative products designed by integrating sustainability from the design stage. The L'Oréal Group can thus design formulas that use less water and increasingly sustainable packaging.
In 2022, L'Oréal Canada established a major partnership with McGill University in Montreal to develop AI models and support research projects with students. McGill students work on predictive AI models for L'Oréal Canada during their studies and some continue their careers with the company afterwards.
