The Era of 'AI Humans' Active in Broadcasting and Retail Has Arrived
Recently, the adoption of 'AI humans' utilizing generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been rapidly increasing in the broadcasting and retail industries. While they were previously limited to simple guidance roles, they have now evolved to a level where they can converse naturally like real people and perform various tasks.
The most notable change is in the broadcasting sector. AI weather forecasters have emerged to accurately deliver weather information to viewers. They are receiving significant attention from broadcasters due to the advantage of being able to provide information 24 hours a day without rest.
AI humans are also playing a prominent role in the retail sector. AI show hosts who directly introduce and sell products have appeared, communicating with consumers in real time. Customers can now listen to product descriptions and have their questions answered immediately by AI show hosts anytime, anywhere.
The background to this technological advancement is largely due to the role of high-performance computing devices. Recently, domestic companies announced strategies to build more efficient AI services by combining NVIDIA's GPUs with domestically produced Neural Processing Units (NPUs). Through this, companies are now able to provide high-quality AI human services at a lower cost.
Moving forward, AI humans are expected to go beyond simple supporting roles and take on more functions throughout our daily lives. As technology advances, it is expected that encountering AI humans will become even more natural in various fields, including education and finance, as well as broadcasting and retail.
