ESTsoft's first AI announcer, AI Byun Sang-wook anchor AI announcer appeared on the broadcast to conduct the news, have you imagined it?

Since 2020, ESTsoft AI PLUS Lab has been successful in developing an AI announcer like a real person, an AI Byun Sang-wook anchor, using 'digital human' technology through joint research with YTN!

This AI announcer was so natural that it stood side by side with a real human announcer and talked without any discomfort. 
The AI Byun Sang-wook announcer has been a time to confirm the advanced technology of ESTsoft's virtual human AI announcer. 

The technology used for AI announcer development is called 'digital human', or 'digital human interface'.
Artificial Intelligence can learn a person's face and voice, and then produce videos that seem like actual people speaking based on the text that is entered.

This technology was particularly suitable as an application for AI announcers, which allowed the development of 'AI Byun Sang-wook anchor' through joint research with YTN! 
In fact, ESTsoft's amazing virtual human technology had already been previewed at past conferences.

At the conference, after the opening welcome speech by ESTsoft CEO Jeong Sang-won, SoftBank Chairman Masayoshi Son and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg appeared for congratulatory remarks, 
in fact, both figures were also a kind of AI virtual humans produced by ESTsoft’s digital human interface AI technology. At that time, it also gave a fresh shock to the viewers who were watching the conference in real-time with a quality similar to real figures. 

So what are the practical advantages of this completed AI announcer technology? 

It enables various broadcast appearances beyond time and space, aging and virus infection prevention, 24-hour emergency standby, ability to broadcast in various foreign languages, and long-term reduction of broadcast production costs! 

AI announcers are now made with quality that is difficult to distinguish with human eyes, so they can appear in various broadcasts without the constraints of time and space and can quickly produce and deliver high-quality content without the need for massive setups and manpower such as studios and broadcasting equipment, which means that costs can be saved in the long run.

In particular, when using ESTsoft's 'digital human interface' technology, if there are 5 hours of refined data needed for learning and 5 days of production time,
one AI video content production is possible, and with continuous development and refinement, it is expected that both the amount of data needed and the time required can be reduced.

ESTsoft's AI announcer, which will be utilized in various places! Please look forward to its further development!
