Singapore's public broadcaster CNA introduces documentary on A.I.,
ESTsoft's Virtual Human technology ESTsoft is currently focusing on the development of Virtual Human technology based on advanced artificial intelligence deep learning know-how
The innovative Virtual Human technology developed by ESTsoft is gaining great interest both in Korea and abroad, and last summer, CNA, Singapore's national broadcaster, visited ESTsoft for a documentary on AI and covered their Virtual Human technology.
In particular, the broadcast introduced the process of creating AI anchor 'Dawn Tan' by training the actual CNA channel's anchor, 'Dawn Tan', through deep learning. Kim Yun-kyung, the manager of ESTsoft's AI business division, appeared in person to provide a more detailed explanation of the AI anchor's implementation method and technology.
The AI anchor 'Dawn Tan', produced through this broadcast, is the third AI Clone implemented with ESTsoft's technology, following YTN AI anchor Byeong Sang-wook and announcer Park Eunbo.
In the broadcast, they compared videos of the AI anchor 'Dawn Tan' - with the real 'Dawn Tan' to show how similar the AI anchor made with ESTsoft's Virtual Human technology was to the real anchor. ESTsoft's AI technology was sophisticated and intricately programmed to the point that even on-site reporters had difficulty immediately guessing the correct answer. This reaffirmed the Virtual Human technological capability of ESTsoft once again.
The AI anchor is not just mimicking the shape of speaking, but to achieve the naturalness identical to real humans, the facial shape is marked with 68 points, and deep learning learns which lip shape to make when making a certain pronunciation. This system creates a high-quality AI anchor as learned through deep learning to be like a person.
Therefore, if you compare it with the initial learning screen, you can see that the AI anchor's lip shape changes into a more natural shape like a human while reducing the margin of error. Here is the completed look of the AI anchor 'Dawn Tan'.
The three versions of the AI anchor showcased in the video are so similar to the real anchor that you can hardly feel any difference. Through the broadcast that captured the AI implementation and production process modeled after CNA anchors, ESTsoft was able to prove itself as an AI Tech leading brand with high-level Virtual Human technology.
ESTsoft will continue to develop AI anchors in collaboration with YTN, including AI anchor Byeong Sang-wook and announcer Park Eunbo, focusing on the development of Virtual Human technology to keep pace with the coming metaverse era.
You can watch the introduction to ESTsoft's Virtual Human technology starting from 6 minutes and 30 seconds in the CNA broadcast 'Becoming Human'.
