AI services specialist ESTsoft (CEO Jung Sang-won) announced on the 28th that it has signed a main contract with Getty Images Korea (CEO Park Geon-won), a global stock content specialist company, to provide AI human image services and launched the 'AI Human Gallery'.

Both companies have entered into an agreement with the goal of distributing and selling the human images produced by ESTsoft's AI technology in the domestic and international markets, using 'Getty Images Bank', which Getty Images Korea is currently operating.

To this end, the companies have newly established the 'AI Human Gallery' on Getty Images Bank and included it in the 'Medical Cosmetic Beauty' category, which maintains top sales within the platform.

The AI human images provided in the AI Human Gallery are reproduced images that are in line with the latest trends and have a high sales rate, using ESTsoft's character generation technology, AI Persona, on stock images owned by Getty Images Korea.

In particular, the companies have optimized the production of AI human images for distribution channels and have been engaged in strategic consultations for 6 months for this purpose. The market response has been positive. Some AI human images showed up to 700% higher sales rates than existing stock images in a blind test conducted before the launch of this service.

Looking ahead, the companies plan to diversify elements such as hairstyles and outfits and to update them quarterly, actively considering overseas market sales of AI human images.

Getty Images Korea CEO Park Geon-won stated, "The collaboration with ESTsoft, which possesses the world's best AI human technology, has borne fruit," and "The service provided by the AI Human Gallery is free from copyright and portrait rights, so it is expected to be widely used in various industries such as medical, cosmetic beauty, tourism, broadcasting, etc., and we are also looking forward to the reaction from overseas."

ESTsoft CEO Jung Sang-won mentioned, "I am very pleased that the successful collaboration with global stock image company Getty Images Korea has introduced ESTsoft's AI human technology to the domestic image industry and explored the possibility of entering overseas markets with global operators," and "Based on the strengthened strategic partnership of both companies, we plan to continuously introduce various forms of business models utilizing AI humans."

Meanwhile, the two companies signed a business agreement for generating AI images and distributing them domestically and internationally last November. In January of this year, they continued their steady collaboration by presenting an exhibition of moving pictures using famous IPs.
