Japan – NEC develops marketing strategy planning & effectiveness simulation technology using generative AI

NEC Corporation (TSE: 6701) has developed a marketing strategy planning & effectiveness simulation technology that utilizes generative AI to identify latent needs of customers and generate optimal measures. According to an NEC survey, this is the world’s first technology that can automatically visualize customer interests and preferences (i.e. psychograhic attributes), generate measures, and predict customer responses to those measures. NEC aims to launch services with this technology in 2024.This technology has been used to develop ideas for new services that are under consideration for next-generation service stations for ENEOS Corporation, Japan’s largest oil & energy company. Marketing strategy planning & ... Read more

Japan – MHI Develops an Onboard AI-Based Object Detector Utilizing a Next-Generation Space-Grade MPU

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) recently developed an onboard artificial intelligence (AI)-based object detector called “AIRIS”(1) that detects objects from satellite images with satellite-mounted AI driven by the next-generation space-grade MPU(2) “SOISOC4.” AIRIS is scheduled to be launched aboard the small demonstration satellite “RAISE-4″(3) in FY2025, after which it will conduct an in-orbit demonstration. Data processor (left) and earth observation camera (right) comprising the onboard AI-based object detector AIRIS The cycle to be demonstrated by AIRIS AIRIS is a satellite-mounted device consisting of an AI-equipped data processor and an earth observation camera developed by the Tokyo University of Science.

Japan – DOCOMO Develops World’s First Technology Utilizing Generative AI to Automatically Generate Non-Player Characters in Metaverse

NTT DOCOMO, INC. announced today that it has developed a generative AI that automatically generates non-player characters (NPCs), characters not controlled by the player, in the metaverse based solely on text input. The technology, which DOCOMO believes is the world’s first of its kind,1generates NPCs that embody distinct appearances, behaviors and roles in just 20 minutes,2 eliminating the need for specialized programming or algorithmic expertise. The technology integrates three generative AIs: behavior-logic-generative AI, animation-generative AI,3 and appearance-generative AI.4 The behavior-logic-generative AI and the seamless synchronization of all three types of AI are unique developments by DOCOMO; significant achievements that mark ...
