* ・Comments regarding this investment*
* influenceAI Co., Ltd. CEO: Kotaro Masuda *
Thanks to the evolution of generative AI, it is now possible to replace your own face with a new, completely different face. In this day and age, jobs such as YouTubers and streamers are coveted jobs, but putting your face on the internet is still a huge risk.
However, if you are a 3D VTuber, you can become famous on the internet without showing your face like a VTuber, even though you have a realistic appearance.
We want to create a world on the Internet where no one is influenced by how they look.
*Skyland Ventures General Partner: Kimiya Nakamura*
This investment came about after they participated in the incubation program “Arami”.
I believe that the technology called generative AI will offer new possibilities for entertainment.
In particular, just as anime-style Vtubers have become popular, we predict that the number of real-style entertainers using generated AI will increase.
This time, we have invested in influenceAI, which takes on this challenge. We look forward!
