SUNNYVALE, Calif.--()--al+ Inc. (CEO: Kazutaka Yonekura, head office: Koto Ward, Tokyo; hereafter referred to as al+) announces that it plans to collaborate with Dentsu Inc., the major advertising company in Japan, on the project to create digital clones of celebrities.

al+ analyzes life-log data of individuals and/or their groups, and develops personalized A.I. by reconstructing those individual personalities on the cloud. al+ is providing the related technologies for different types of products.

al+ and Dentsu have agreed to cooperate on the development of digital clones of celebrities as a method of providing communication entertainment contents. We will firstly regenerate the personality of the idol Ai Shinozaki as A.I. ( https://greenfunding.jp/lab/projects/1302 )
This is our first occasion to utilize al+ technologies in the entertainment field.

About al+
al+ connects various kinds of SNS or other applications used by the users in their daily life to A.I., so that A.I. can learn the users’ thinking patterns automatically. With this methodology, al+ creates the users’ virtual personalities on the applications.
There are three different levels of A.I. engines. All three working together, A.I. can be very flexible and more humanlike in thinking.
al+ also constantly analyzes how all the users are using al+ A.I. Our A.I. studies this virtual society and self-learns what it cannot learn only from a single user. With the number of users increasing, the preciseness of its thoughts will drastically improve. This also improves its ability to learn individual users.
al+ creates the A.I. to realize its individual users personalities accurately by implementing those mentioned above. This A.I. is what we call P.A.I.
