AI service specialist company ESTsoft (CEO Jung Sang Won) announced on the 11th that it has produced 'AI professors' and 'AI student ambassadors' with Korea University of Technology Education and signed a supply contract for AI human services, including existing IP (Intellectual Property rights). 

Korea University of Technology Education is a private university that opened in 1992 with full government funding from the Ministry of Employment and Labor and is also a public institution under the Ministry of Employment and Labor.  

Both sides have been collaborating since last year to introduce AI humans to the university scene. The initial introduction was in November last year. At that time, AI humans were utilized for the university briefing and preliminary guidance for essay writing, and after about six months of preparation, the main contract was signed.  

With this supply contract, ESTsoft will provide Korea University of Technology Education with ▲AI professor and student ambassador production ▲AI announcer IP support ▲AI human video production service 'AI Studio Perso'. The main purpose of the contract is to use AI humans to help faculty and students with school life. 

AI professors and AI student ambassadors are produced with different technologies according to their intended use. The AI professor, which is produced to showcase a new IP reflecting the image of the university, is made with 'AI Persona' technology, while the AI student ambassador, which is 100% faithfully reproduced using real students as models, is made with 'AI Clone' technology. The completed AI humans will operate in 'AI Studio Perso'. 

The main activities take place at the Future Education Innovation Office of Korea University of Technology Education. 'AI professors' assist with lectures and student guidance, and 'AI student ambassadors' are used for internal and external promotional activities such as university introductions or campus tours. In the future, they are also planned to be deployed in STEP, an online life-long vocational capability development learning platform operated by the Online Lifelong Education Center, and will be used for e-learning education for the entire nation. 

A representative from Korea University of Technology Education said, "We expect that the introduction of ESTsoft's competitively high-quality, convenient, and scalable AI humans will dramatically improve the accessibility and quality of existing educational services."  

Byeon Kye-Pung, Executive Director of ESTsoft AI Business Division, said, "We will lead this project to a successful end so that the introduction of AI humans can actively take place in university settings," and he also stated, "We will focus more on technology advancement so that AI humans can become an essential element in creating a better educational environment in the future."
