The Human in the Machine: Navigating the Future of AI in Fashion Tech | Michelle Bacharach
Episode 34
Friday, 24 April, 2026

In this episode of Retail War Games, we sit down with Michelle Bacharach, CEO and Founder of FindMine, to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence, high-level curation, and the future of fashion tech. Michelle shares her fascinating journey from professional acting in LA to leading a tech revolution that is changing how retailers handle merchandising and customer experience at scale. The conversation dives deep into the reality of AI in 2026. While many see AI as a magic wand, Michelle argues for the necessity of "Human-in-the-loop" systems to prevent the generation of "slop" and ensure that brand equity remains intact. We discuss why automated curation is the new competitive advantage for omni-channel brands and how to leverage technology without losing the creative soul of a brand.
