【2022 Solutions】 Complete checkout in 1 second, Viscovery AI image recognition assists smart retail

Artificial intelligence AI has gradually changed the way various industries operate in recent years However, most of the work is still done by humans, with AI playing a supporting role This has led to emergence of the term "AI Copilot," which stands for "AI-driven tools or assistants" that aim to assist users in completing various tasks and improve productivity and efficiency The concept of AI Copilot comes from the role of "co-pilot" During flight, the co-pilot assists the main pilot in completing various tasks to ensure flight safety and efficiency In fact, there have been signs of various "machines" beginning to play the role of "copilot" in different fields since the Industrial Revolution, assisting humans in completing heavy physical and repetitive tasks, greatly improving factory production efficiency, and driving rapid economic development Following the advancement of computing equipment and breakthroughs in machine learning, deep learning, and image recognition technologies, the concept of AI Copilot has gradually taken shape The development of AI Copilot marks the transition from "machine-assisted to AI-assisted" Early robots could only complete preset repetitive tasks, but today's AI copilot can learn and adapt to new environments and tasks, and continuously optimize its performance in practical applications This transformation not only changes human-machine interactions, but also has a profound impact on various industries The application scope of AI copilot covers various industries, including finance, healthcare, manufacturing, education, retail, etc, and are everywhere to be seen Application of AI copilot in the retail industry AI image recognition checkout In the retail industry, the application of AI copilot has begun to show concrete results Take Viscovery's AI image recognition checkout system as an example This system is a type of AI copilot model that helps store clerks speed up checkout or assists consumers in simplifying the self-service checkout process The store clerk needs to scan the product barcodes one by one in the regular checkout method If a product does not have a barcode, such as bread and meals, the clerk needs to first visually confirm the items, and then input them into the POS checkout system one by one Based on actual measurements at a chain bakery, it takes 22 seconds for an experienced clerk from "visual recognition" to "entering product information of a plate of 6 items into the checkout system" New clerks may need even more time In addition, according to a Japanese bakery operator, it takes 1 to 2 months to train employees to become familiar with products Now with AI image recognition technology, store clerks let AI handle the "product recognition" step, and AI will play the role of copilot, quickly identifying items within 1 second, speeding up checkout to save 50 of checkout time, and optimizing customers'shopping experience The time cost of training employees to identify bread can also be effectively shortened Even for products with barcodes, AI can quickly identify multiple items in one second, which is more efficient than scanning barcodes one by one The self-checkout system "assisted" by AI image recognition allows consumers to successfully complete shopping without the help of store clerks, eliminating the trouble of swiping barcodes or searching for items on the screen, which improves the shopping experience In a time when store clerks are hard to hire due to labor shortage, this also helps stores reduce operating costs AI quickly identifies multiple checkout items in just one second Source of image Viscovery Recently, startups dedicated to developing AI image recognition checkout solutions have emerged in various countries The most lightweight solution currently known is in Taiwan It can be immediately used by installing a Viscovery lens and a tablet installed with Viscovery AI image recognition software at the checkout counter to connect to the store's existing POS checkout system There are various integration methods, including plug-and-play and API solutions integrated with the store's POS system Viscovery AI image recognition system can be painlessly integrated with the store's existing POS system Source of image Viscovery Example of AI image recognition checkout Currently, the Viscovery AI image recognition system is being used in bakery chains in Taiwan, Chinese noodle shops in Singapore, micromarkets in department stores in Sendai, Japan, and Japanese bakeries and cake shops Over 7 million transactions were completed through this AI system, which identified more than 40 million items These use cases demonstrate the extensive application of the Viscovery AI image recognition system in the retail industry In the future, the company will continue to explore the various possibilities of using Vision AI in retail and catering nbsp The Viscovery AI image recognition system is already being used in bakeries, cake shops, restaurants, and convenience stores in Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan Source of image Viscovery

【2022 Solutions】 Xiaoshi Intelligent Inspection uses the two swords of "AOI + AI" to combine software and hardware to open up the two channels of appearance defect detection and supervision.

Quality inspection, like a double-edged sword, has always been a favorite and painful subject for Taiwanese manufacturers When AI deep learning enters the industrial visual inspection of traditional manufacturing industries, it can not only save inspection manpower investment, solve the problem of inconsistent manual visual standards, overcome the limited visual recognition and defect detection blind spots of traditional automatic optical inspection AOI, and also enable real-time traceability Causes of quality problems The overall AIAOI visual inspection solution developed by Xiaoshi Intelligent Inspection integrates software and hardware to create efficient appearance defect detection capabilities, helping electronics OEM customers create high-efficiency products with a miss detection rate of less than 1 and an overkill rate of less than 3 Check the level Xiaoshi Intelligent Inspection was established in 2020 Although it is a new venture two years ago, it did not start from scratch Founder and CEO Hong Peijun and the core team have been deeply involved in Foxconn factories for many years and participated in countless smart factory-related solutions and process improvements , has profound AI deep learning development capabilities, and accumulated rich experience in world-class AI application implementation Seeing that AI industrial inspection must be the last mile for the manufacturing industry to move towards Industry 40, Hong Peijun resolutely decided to implement AI deep learning technology in the field of smart manufacturing with high output value, and specialized in the development of AI industrial visual inspection For the manufacturing industry, product inspection is the most important part of all quality control, but traditional industrial inspection faces two major pain points 1 Manual visual inspection Today, more than 95 of the entire manufacturing industry still relies on manual visual inspection Inspection makes it difficult for manual visual quality inspection standards to be consistent, and visual inspection of fine objects, such as passive components or highly reflective components, will cause long-term vision damage 2 Traditional AOI automatic optical inspection The product has limited visual recognition capabilities and blind spots in defect detection Among them, the detection of appearance defects such as scratches, oil stains, dirt or hair and other unexpected subtle defects has always been a problem in AOI applications Insurmountable difficulties AIAOI visual inspection overall solution is a great boon for appearance defect detection When designing the product roadmap of Xiaoshi Zhikan, customer group positioning and strengthening customer product services and value were important indicators Moreover, appearance defect detection has always been an unresolved pain in the manufacturing industry, Hong Peijun said With industrial quality inspection AI software as the core, Xiaoshi Intelligent Inspection provides an overall solution for AIAOI visual inspection It mainly promotes three major products, including "QVI-T AI deep learning inspection modeling platform software" and "AI six-sided defect inspection and screening machine" ” and “AI Industrial Quality Inspection Platform” The main customer groups served are semiconductor packaging and testing, EMS electronics foundry, small metal parts processing and other industries with high production capacity and high gross profit margin In response to customer needs, Xiaoshi Intelligent Inspection provides corresponding software and hardware services, combining self-developed AI deep learning software and hardware quality inspection equipment to reduce the manual visual burden on the production line and effectively improve the production quality of the factory In order to help equipment manufacturers and technical engineers with development capabilities accurately grasp product appearance defect detection, Xiaoshi Intelligent Inspection independently developed QVI-T deep learning detection software, which can provide customers with defect location, defect classification, defect segmentation, anomaly detection and text recognition Key functions such as this are different from the fixed detection methods of traditional software Algorithms can be refined based on different industrial detection methods and different APIs can be developed to connect devices with different lenses The software design of this platform is very lightweight It is a SaaS software built on public cloudprivate cloud It mainly involves simple image uploading, labeling, training modeling, and verification testing After completion, users can download models, SDKs, APIs, and reports Effectively help customers achieve AI inference functions Currently, most of the industrial inspection services on the market are traditional AOI software industrial inspection machines, which can only measure product contours such as the head and length of fasteners, etc, and cannot truly provide detection of subtle product surface defects such as screw head cracks and tooth damage There is a lack of such high-precision defect detection companies in the market, Hong Peijun observed Xiaoshi Intelligent Inspection developed and independently built the "AI six-sided defect detection and screening machine" from customized services in the past to providing standardized services for customers at the current stage It provides standardized testing services for fasteners in measurement and surface defects, as well as passive components High-speed surface defect detection of similar products This professional machine uses the AI deep learning AOI composite algorithm technology independently developed by Xiaoshi Intelligent Inspection Through parallel computing technology, it can achieve model inference up to 3 milliseconds per picture, and realize multiple complex defect detection on the electrodes and body of passive components This professional machine is mainly used for the inspection of fasteners, small metal parts and passive components In terms of competitiveness in the industry, the software hardware integration provided by the AI six-sided defect inspection and screening professional machine is an important core competitive advantage of Xiaoshi Intelligent Inspection It is not as simple as it sounds Hong Peijun said with emotion that this special machine is very important in the industrial inspection industry Commonly known as the highly integrated integration of optical mechanisms, electronic controls, software and algorithms, the process requires continuous optimization and iteration, and requires multiple client verifications and modifications After a long period of hard work, the technical threshold has also been raised The AI six-sided defect detection and screening professional machine will be the main product promotion direction of Xiaoshi Intelligent Inspection in the next 3-5 years It is believed that AI combined with measurement technology and surface defect detection will be an important source of core competitiveness of Xiaoshi Intelligent Inspection, Hong Peijun said AI six-sided defect detection and screening professional machine will be the main product promotion direction of Xiaoshi Intelligent Inspection in the next 3-5 years Faced with the booming development of Industry 40 in smart factories, customers often ask "Does quality inspection data have secondary use value" Hong Peijun said that the "AI Industrial Quality Inspection Platform" launched by Xiaoshi Intelligent Inspection has a machine learning mechanism , which can be used for secondary use of quality inspection data to provide customers with multiple functions including real-time monitoring and early warning of production quality, quality traceability analysis, quality factor assessment, process parameter prediction and recommendation Taking the successful introduction into the automotive parts factory as an example, through the prediction and recommendation of process parameters provided by the AI industrial quality inspection platform, when we know the product defects, we build a set of models based on the experience of past masters, coupled with the network connection data from the previous stage, After integration, we have process data, incoming material data, and quality inspection data We can predict whether these machine parameters have run out, and we can recommend whether the process parameters of certain sections should be adjusted up or down Through the AI industrial quality inspection platform, Xiaoshi Intelligent Inspection can help customers connect visual quality inspection results, process data and acceptance standards with the existing MES system of the customer's factory to improve production quality, improve efficiency and reduce costs In terms of business model, Xiaoshi Zhiqian also provides a software subscription system for the deep learning detection modeling platform software It provides public cloud customers with traffic subscription and charges based on the amount of image uploads, while private cloud customers adopt an annual license fee license charging mechanism In addition, the company also provides customers with a buyout charging mechanism for the overall solution equipment, and provides a one-year warranty, after which consumables and software update maintenance fees are charged annually Going in the opposite direction, using both hard and soft methods, with a missed detection rate of less than 1 and rapid modeling in 15 minutes Faced with various small-volume and multi-sample inspection needs in the manufacturing industry, general AI deep learning visual inspection usually requires customers to collect a large number of photos of defective products, which is time-consuming to label, and also causes customers to have difficulty in importing AI, and defective products cannot be collected The introduction cycle is long and implementation is full of risks If there are not enough bad samples, the model will be inaccurate Kosaki Chikan goes in the opposite direction and uses its product "AI Visual Inspection Model Development Tool" to train models through pictures of good products provided by customers It is relatively easy for AI to learn good products, no labeling is required, and the time can be quickly compressed to complete the modeling Take the implementation of IPC electronics industry - AAEON Technology as an example In order to reduce the manpower input of the quality inspection station in the PCBA production line and have standardized quality inspection, Xiaoshi Intelligent Inspection provides an overall solution for PCBA AI visual inspection software and hardware services, and conduct in-line inspection on the factory's highly automated assembly line, effectively saving inspection manpower investment, improving the standardization of quality inspection rates, and improving the problem of inconsistent standards caused by manual visual inspection Through the introduction of AI visual inspection software and hardware integrated solutions, we have effectively helped customers maintain an overkill rate of less than 3 in the past two years, and achieved high-efficiency performance with a missed detection rate of less than 1 In addition, this solution allows practitioners who do not understand AI to quickly operate modeling By installing the modeling tool on the device, when the customer has a new product number and needs to create a model, he only needs to provide 10 pictures of good products to scan under the device It only takes 15 minutes to quickly train the model In terms of product core strategic layout, compared with market competitors who rely solely on general software services to seize all manufacturing markets, it is not feasible to apply it to industrial inspection Hong Peijun has observed over the past 10 years and believes that only software hardware can With technical thresholds and focusing on one industry and field, only by adopting a standardized company's AI six-sided defect detection and screening special machine can it be replicated and scaled up, and the company can truly continue to move towards optimization and create product competitiveness, even if there are other competing products It’s not easy to compete for this pie, Hong Peijun said Xiaoshi Intelligent Inspection’s overall AIAOI visual inspection solution creates rapid modeling and excellent results for customers with a missed detection rate of less than 1 The most competitive AIAOI overall solution provider with global presence For new entrepreneurs, facing business expansion is a challenge every day Hong Peijun said that small companies are easily snatched away by large companies, company talents are poached by high salaries, lack of deep customer relationships, and the business team is not large enough, etc How to overcome this Hong Peijun believes that the key to success and competitiveness of a new start-up company is to be diligent in making up for mistakes, provide better services, provide more immediate feedback, and create more professional solutions to convince customers Since its establishment in 2020, Xiaoshi Intelligent Inspection has always gone against the grain in terms of product core strategic layout, surpassing the competitive market among its peers, and actively taking root in the overall solution of AI visual inspection software and hardware Hong Peijun hopes that Xiaoshi Intelligent Inspection will become the world's most competitive AIAOI overall solution provider for the electronics and semiconductor industries in the future, and provide the top AIAOI professional machines and equipment to the electronics and semiconductor industry customer base Hong Peijun said that the technical capabilities of the company's AI six-sided defect detection and screening professional machine have reached the top domestic level In order to speed up the research and development of professional machines to become more standardized and sell them to overseas markets, the company will conduct a fundraising plan at this stage, hoping to use legal persons such as the Capital Strategy Council to assist in more business connections and fundraising channels For the medium and long-term goals, Xiaoshi Intelligent Inspection will lay out the global market including mainland China and Southeast Asian countries At the same time, it will follow the international footsteps of major OEMs in global layout Under the target inspection project, it will continue to develop specialty products and spread towards the international field

【2020 Solutions】 Robot financial management helps investors balance risks and profits

In the era of "if you don't manage your money, money will not care about you", how to avoid the risks of the investment market and grasp investment returns has become the biggest hope of investors In order to overcome the human weaknesses of greed and fear, financial management robots developed through AI algorithms can help investors avoid disasters and enjoy fruitful profits in the treacherous and ever-changing financial market On March 17, 2020, affected by the global spread of the new coronavirus pneumonia COVID-19, also known as Wuhan pneumonia, the US stock market continued to plummet after opening, triggering the third circuit breaker in the US stock market, which was also the fourth in history After the circuit breaker, investors in the securities market were in distress and could not even escape for their lives Before that, the financial management robot had suggested adjusting the proportion of stocks and bonds, reducing the proportion of high-risk stocks, increasing the proportion of relatively safe bonds, and adding high risk aversion Gold and other combinations enable investors to effectively reduce investment risks and losses Robotic financial management has two service models B2B and B2C The robot financial management service provided by Leading Information Technology Company provides investors with a stable financial management tool Peng Hansheng, co-founder and CEO of Leading Information Technology, said that Leading Information Technology currently provides two service models The first is the Taiwan B2B model, which is to cooperate with domestic financial institutions to provide robot financial algorithm engines, Artificial intelligence market prediction engine, jointly launch robot financial management services the other is an American B2C model, aiming to serve Chinese American customers, self-developed intelligent financial management APP Growin, using AI and quantitative models to provide customized investment and financial management in ETFs and individual stocks Serve Among them, due to restrictions on regulations, the B2B financial management robot launched by Leading in Taiwan is cooperating with the domestic financial industry, including banks, insurance, etc Currently Leading's partners include an investment advisory and credit company, and a life insurance company The company and two banks provide customer financial management robots as a trading tool that consumers can rely on In addition, Taiwan's leader in the information service industry - Jingcheng Information provides diversified financial information services to financial institutions Liding also provides investors with investment portfolio recommendations for smart financial management by connecting APIs to the Jingcheng Information system Smart financial management APP Growin uses AI and quantitative models to provide customized investment and financial services in ETFs and individual stocks The financial regulations in the United States are relatively mature, allowing companies to set up online investment advisory companies Liding connects with the US brokerage system through APIs, and the partner is Interactive Brokers, the largest and No 1 company in the United States Broker, providing direct consumer services Interactive Brokers customers can place orders directly through the APP and enjoy the services of the financial management robot The iOS version is currently available for download The robot financial management platform charges a management fee of 05-1 of the investment amount every year There are 10 investment portfolios for consumers to choose from Stocks with high investment returns have higher management fees If you choose relatively stable ETFs, the fees will be Less expensive The services of Liding Financial Management Robot are mainly focused on medium and long-term investment Taking the United States as an example, the investment targets include 5,000 stocks and 2,000 ETFs in the US market Among them, the average investment return rate based on different risk investment portfolios is 45 -18 or so, and ETF is between 45 and 9 Introducing AI algorithms into investment and financial management can not only significantly reduce the impact of human emotions, but also enable disciplined execution of every investment decision, more effective prediction of the market, and immediate response to its trends Robotic financial management targets retired people and focuses on medium and long-term investment Take the global stock market crash triggered by the impact of the new coronavirus as an example The original investment portfolio of the financial management robot had a stock and bond ratio of 7 to 3 respectively Shortly after the global stock market crash, it automatically reversed and adjusted to 3 to 7, that is, to increase the bond ratio Proportion, reduce the proportion of stocks to avoid high investment risks Peng Hansheng said that the financial management robot uses AI technology models to gather 18 important global market indicators and economic trend forecasts for the next 1-3 months It can provide reversal suggestions when the market is about to fall sharply and avoid high investment risks Therefore, in The losses were relatively minor amid a sharp decline in global stock markets However, relatively speaking, when global stock markets rose sharply in April, the growth rate of financial management robots was relatively small, which is suitable for steady financial investors who pursue long-term performance Peng Hansheng said that investor financial management through AI algorithms can overcome the investment mistakes that ordinary investors are easily affected by emotions, news or irrational selling At the same time, in the form of a basket investment portfolio, It can also effectively diversify risks and reduce investment losses Integrated learning concepts can achieve dynamic asset allocation effects return on investment The so-called "ensemble learning" solves a single prediction problem by building a combination of several models Its working principle is to build multiple classifiersmodels on the data set, each independently learn and make predictions, and these predictions are finally combined into a single prediction The predictions are therefore better than those made by any single classifier In addition, using an "unsupervised" training and learning method, also known as "Hierarchical Clustering", the system will automatically classify the investment targets within the target range every month, allowing the machine to learn Financial report information, value investment, and then improve operational performance The choice of robot financial management as an entrepreneurial theme is mainly related to Peng Hansheng's financial engineering background He graduated from the Department of Finance at Tsinghua University and later went to Columbia University to study financial mathematics After graduation, he entered Wall Street to engage in quantitative trading 2-3 year time Three years ago, after witnessing the sudden ups and downs of the stock market and investors' irrational pursuit of highs and lows, resulting in investment failures, Peng Hansheng decided to contribute what he had learned to Taiwanese society and founded Liding Information Technology Company, specializing in robot financial services It is hoped that through the new smart financial management method driven by AI, it can help investors avoid bad luck and manage their finances steadily The most difficult thing about promoting AI financial management is that according to statistics, when financial management robots make investment portfolio recommendations, up to 40 of investors do not follow them, unable to overcome human weaknesses, and the final result is a losing position getting bigger In addition, in the B2B robot financial management market, the business logic of banks and insurance industries is different from that of financial management robots For example, banks specialize in wealth management, and high-end customers usually prefer direct service from financial specialists and do not like to interact with machines Therefore, promotion in the banking industry is difficult In the future, bank financial professionals or securities traders will be targeted, making the financial management robot an investment advice auxiliary tool for financial professionals and stock traders Peng Hansheng, co-founder and CEO of Liding Information Technology 「Translated

Farmers work hard in the fields to produce the freshest, nutritious and delicious crops Without a good cold chain transportation system, not only will farmers’ hard work go to waste, but agricultural enterprises will also suffer losses due to temperature loss and damage to refrigerated goods Loss has also become a major pain point The AI cold chain transportation chain break warning system can help reduce costs and improve the efficiency of fruit and vegetable transportation and preservation Zhongtian Technology, founded in 2017, is committed to using Internet of Things technology to develop smart agriculture In addition to winning many awards such as the Smart City Innovation Application Award, it has also assisted private institutions such as Xingnong Group and the Agricultural Experimental Institute in the construction of Smart agricultural software and hardware equipment Monitoring temperature throughout the cold chain must rely on AI technology to assist Chen Zhiming, chief consultant of Zhongtian Technology and a professor at the School of Information at Lingdong University of Science and Technology, said that Xingnong Group, which has more than 200 fertilizer supply centers across the country, and its Yumei Research Company have the most high-end greenhouses in Taiwan, and its products include crops such as beef tomatoes , supplying Formosa Steaks, McDonald's, COSTCO and five-star hotels, etc Yumei Research itself has 3 refrigerated trucks and 12 refrigerated rooms However, the transportation of vegetables, fruits, fresh food and other food needs to be kept in a low-temperature environment The ambient temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, position, and opening and closing of the transportation box during transportation need to be monitored in real time for owners to ensure Understanding whether the quality of refrigerated food storage and transportation is affected by temperature changes cannot be done through human monitoring and must rely on the assistance of AI technology Agriculture 40 simple APP operation interface At present, the general practice of cold chain equipment manufacturers is to place wireless temperature recording devices in refrigerated goods and transport them together to record whether the quality is affected by temperature changes during the entire transport process A small number of refrigerated trucks also use 4G networks to transmit The temperature information of the refrigerated space in the vehicle provides monitoring of temperature changes in the cold chain during movement However, the above two methods can only know whether the quality of the product is affected by temperature changes at the final arrival time, and cannot provide analysis and early warning for various conditions that may occur during product storage and transportation to ensure refrigeration Quality assurance and instant feedback of information during product delivery information Schematic diagram of cooperation between ICTIoT technology in agriculture Once the cargo status is abnormal or is about to occur, the AI system can immediately execute warning notifications, which can reduce the loss of broken links caused by environmental changes The overall cold chain monitoring scope extends from logistics and transportation to unloading, transshipment and storage, thereby building a complete cold chain monitoring system AI technology is introduced into the cold chain system, reducing product damage rate by 75 Chen Zhiming said that after the system is established, the proportion of refrigerated goods that are damaged due to temperature changes can be reduced by 75 At the same time, through AI intelligent judgment and statistical analysis algorithms, real-time information on each storage space, delivery vehicle and even pallets can be provided Usage status, it can provide intelligent scheduling and data analysis to increase the utilization rate of the overall cold chain system by 20, which is a good result Taiwan Fengkang Supermarket, owned by Yumei Research Company, has 48 stores north of Hsinchu in the province, with a wide range of products and 100 refrigerated trucks It is currently being planned by Guoxing Information, hoping to break the AI cold chain transportation chain The early warning system has been introduced into Fengkang supermarkets across the province, allowing consumers in metropolitan areas to enjoy better quality refrigerated fresh fruits, vegetables and food In addition to the AI cold chain transportation chain breakage warning system that solves the problem of freshness throughout the entire process "from the production area to the supermarket", agricultural enterprises also have a pain point In order to save electricity during the transportation process, outsourcing manufacturers may turn off the air conditioners on the vehicles In other words, during the 2-4 hour transportation process, the air conditioner may be turned on in the first half hour and the second half hour, and may be without air conditioning at other times In this situation, a Bluetooth data collector can also be installed in the pallet Temperature data is collected every five minutes to ensure that the goods are kept fresh throughout the transportation process Changes in refrigerated temperature trends Greenhouse temperature and humidity change trend chart Chen Zhiming said that Xingnong Group is Taiwan's leading agricultural enterprise Its subsidiary Guoxing Information can build a powerful AI expert system through knowledge in the agricultural field From greenhouses, logistics vehicles, warehouses, sub-warehouses to supermarkets, it can collect and collect data throughout the entire process Get refrigerated truck information For ordinary

"Why does the music industry need AI What problems can AI solve" These are the questions Zeng Zhizhong, the founder and CEO of Anpu Artificial Intelligence Co, Ltd, continuously asks himself Since founding the company in 2018, Zeng Zhizhong has understood market positioning and customer needs clearly Anpu uses AI composition to seize the global environmental music broadcasting market With the system online for over a month, AI has created more than 10,000 pieces of music, serving clients across cafes, car showrooms, restaurants, and hair salons with a "legal, free" broadcasting solution, becoming the first choice for stores Zeng Zhizhong is a serial entrepreneur with a background in both the internet and music He has served as the general manager of Taihe Music Group, director of music services for Microsoft and Nokia in Asia Pacific, founded AR company Emitia Technologies and streaming company Tianlida Technology, and currently operates a company called Ouster Music specializing in film and television soundtracks With a dual background in technology and music, Zeng Zhizhong navigates AI music to solve copyright dilemmas With his sharp senses in technology and music, particularly amidst the ongoing AI boom, Zeng Zhizhong constantly contemplates how to turn AI composition into a profitable business He analyzes examples such as Spotify with 100 million paid subscribers in the USA, 1 million in Taiwan's KK BOX, and the mainland China's IPO-listed QQ Music, all operating at a loss The primary issue lies with these platforms not owning the copyrights to the music they provide, despite offering membership subscriptions They must also pay royalties to record companies and creators, leading to 'the bigger they are, the more they lose' Zeng Zhizhong, with his tech and music background, hopes to carve a niche for AI-generated music In the music industry, there are two main domains ambient music background music, BGM and pop music Pop music involves a lengthy production chain including lyric writing, composition, arrangement, singing, harmonizing, mixing, and finalization, entailing high costs and investment risks Meanwhile, ambient music, used in malls, department stores, cafes, and restaurants, traditionally sees copyrights held by music industry associations in various countries, making acquisitions costly and time-consuming However, producing music in-house circumvents copyright issues Thus, composing with AI and retaining copyrights internally becomes a key to success According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry IFPI report, global music market revenues in 2018 grew by 97 to 191 billion, up from 174 billion in 2017 Streaming music revenue alone reached 89 billion, accounting for 47 of the global total, nearly half Publicly broadcasted music accounted for 10-15, marking a significant portion of the market Recognizing the immense potential of the market, Zeng Zhizhong then assessed the technical capabilities of AI music, candidly stating, "AI is not a cure-all" For concert performances or chart-topping pop music, human lyricists and composers are necessary to achieve desired effects, while AI composition typically handles simple, uncomplicated melodies Assembling a large music database coupled with proprietary AI algorithms for rapid music production Anpu Music's AI composition system utilizes algorithms that include Markov chains, neural networks, deep learning methods, and combines the company's proprietary algorithm MDN Music Deeplearning Network, which conforms to unique musical algorithmic theories, thus breaking through traditional pop music structures and styles to create more market-aligned music compositions The database aggregates a large amount of sheet music data from top charted tracks and renowned songs globally, initially analyzing and summarizing the characteristics and melodies of popular quality music, then employing deep learning for efficient and excellent outcomes in AI composition BGMRADIO公播平台上集結上萬首AI音樂 Anpu provides a clear AI solution for the complex music copyright environment, with a material library owning a vast amount of clear-cut copyrights over 10,000 music tracks in 50 different styles, allowing users to freely choose suitable music to enjoy Anpu's current business model is twofold one provides a web-based platform offering 10,000 free AI-generated music tracks for online listening, and the other involves custom music services for a fee Additionally, responding to the promotional needs of the record industry and artists, it also charges for advertisement playbacks Another revenue model involves renting music players to users, charging an annual rental fee BGMRADIO公播平台與其他公播平台之比較 Zeng Zhizhong states, "Music knows no borders good music doesn't distinguish between being created by humans or AI" With current AI algorithms and related technology being quite mature, using AI to produce music is not a difficult task The key is identifying market pain points for business opportunities Anpu's market spans Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and it aims to continue expanding into China's largest market Having founded startups for 20 years in mainland China, Zeng Zhizhong's primary reason for starting a business back home is Taiwan's rich talent pool, especially the interdisciplinary
