[Interaction] AI Designer is Making A Splash

Plug Inc.'s "Package Design AI" is capable of generating and evaluating 1,000 design proposals in less than an hour. In seconds, the AI predicts a design's popularity and its image in consumers based on learning data from more than 10 million people. The AI won the Japanese Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Award last year. It has become news that Calbee, Ajinomoto, and Nestlé Japan have seen an increase in sales by using this AI system. In April, 2023, it was broadcast throughout China on an information news program on China Central Television (CCTV). How powerful is this AI "designer"? Don't miss the live show.
