AI Clerk Serves Customers at 7-Eleven South Korea for the Opening of Its First-Ever Unmanned Convenience Store

Artificial intelligence or AI-Clerk is developed with the ability to greet customers at the site and interact with them to let them know about offers and promotions.

As indicated in a Petrol Plaza report, 7-Eleven has opened its first-ever unmanned store located in Seoul, South Korea, "with a special customer engagement system integrated."

With this innovation, an AI-Clerk can greet customers at the location. In the location, the server can also interact with customers to present special offers and promotions.

Clients who are going to the store located in the Lotte Information and Communication building in the capital can be involved in conversations with the AI.

AI Clerk

DeepBrain AI is the provider of this highly technical service, a firm that's specializing in the development of AI systems that chat can employ real-time conversations.

According to Eric Jang, the Founder, and CEO of DeepBrain AI, they believe AI humans embedded with video and speech synthesis technology will interrupt a lot of industries which include convenience stores.

A Retail in Asia report said the company official added they are excited to showcase this 7-Eleven commercial solution, which is presently in use, to highlight the ability of artificial intelligence to humanize digital customer service and improve customer experiences.

The system was installed in August 2021 as an AI Kiosk of 7-Eleven, a subsidiary of Lotte Group. The convenience store not just includes the technology of DeepBrain as it is integrated as well with technologies for unmanned stores.

Moreover, aside from answering questions, the AI Clerk has the ability to offer promotional information to customers, too. This comprises general inquiries, newly stocked items, discounts, and data on the company, as well as its technology.

AI for Human Life

For quite some time now, DeepBrain AI has successfully commercialized the first real-time video synthesis solution of the world in the form of AI Humans that are conversational and non-conversational.

Applicable to different customer-interacting and presenter-led industries, the company has loaded top enterprise clients in education, media, banking, retail, healthcare, and more.

There's also the Human Kiosk which applies to every customer-facing business, making it simply deployable to on-premise sites like unmanned businesses and high foot-traffic sites for 24/7 customer involvement.

Another AI Server

Earlier on, Science Times came out with a related AI report saying Chinese scientists claimed they have devised an AI nanny called the "AI Prosecutor," that can monitor and look after embryos while developing into fetuses in an artificial womb background.

The researchers explained that all within the realm of possibility, in what could be regarded as a breakthrough for the "future of childbearing" in a nation that's facing its lowest birth rates in many years.

The same technology could eliminate the need for a woman to carry a baby, enabling the fetus to progress and grow more in a more efficient manner outside her body.

Lastly, the artificial womb, also known as "long-term-embryo culture device," is a container where mouse embryos can be put for growth in a line of cubes filled with nutritious fluids.
