**KT to create a virtual human ‘Giga Genie AI Human’**
*KT creates artificial intelligence (AI)-based virtual humans.*
On the 17th, KT announced that it had signed an MOU for ‘Giga Genie-AI virtual human business cooperation’ with Deep Brain AI, a company specializing in AI virtual humans. The two companies plan to create a virtual human that can communicate with people in real time by using voice/image synthesis, natural language processing, and voice recognition technology.
The new virtual human uses KT’s AI platform GiGA Genie as its brain. In addition, Deep Brain AI’s virtual human solution is applied.
KT plans to apply GiGA Genie AI Human to AI services equipped with ‘Giga Genie Inside’, a cloud-based AI platform. GiGA Genie Inside is a platform that enables GiGA Genie AI to be used even if it is not for GiGA Genie products such as robots, automobiles, home appliances, and mobile apps.
The two companies aim to implement 24-hour non-face-to-face services in each field such as media, education, finance, and commerce using GiGA Genie AI Human. In the first half of this year, we plan to develop an AI human kiosk (unmanned ordering device) equipped with GiGA Genie Inside.
â??As the demand for non-face-to-face services increases due to COVID-19, expectations for advanced AI services have also increased,â? said Choi Joon-gi, head of KTâ??s AI and Big Data business division.
Se-young Jang, CEO of Deep Brain AI, said, â??AI human technology has infinite scalability in that it can replace human roles.â?
