What would the world look like where artificial intelligence (AI) is so integrated into daily life that citizens can experience it? At 'AICON Gwangju 2021', a global artificial intelligence conference held at the Kim Dae-jung Convention Center for three days from the 16th to the 18th, you can get a preview of daily life in the AI era.
AICON Gwangju 2021 is expected to be a venue where domestic and international experts gather to discuss the current status and future of AI technology, and at the same time, it will be a place where even general members of the public can easily approach and enjoy AI technology, which might otherwise seem difficult. At this event, various programs that allow citizens to experience diverse AI technologies embedded in our lives await them.
During the event period, citizens can participate in various activities, starting from 'AI Edutech' experiences that integrate AI, VR, and AR, such as ▲Metaverse Cinema ▲Unmanned Robot Store ▲Future Robot Experience ▲My Benefit ▲Perfect Musician ▲Try being BTS with Augmented Reality ▲Human vs. AI Quiz Contest. Additionally, popular science YouTubers 'An Doel Science' and 'Science Cookie' are scheduled to present special lectures to explain stories about AI in an easy and fun way.

Especially, AICON Gwangju 2021 will unfold in the metaverse as well. Citizens who cannot visit in person can participate in the event through a metaverse platform. By creating their own avatars—from face to clothing and accessories—and entering the venue, they can listen to desired lectures or visit booths from AI companies that pique their interest. They can also chat with other avatars in the virtual space, exchanging business cards and expressing emotions freely with emoticons. There is also a real-time automatic translation function, enabling communication with foreigners.
◆ Drinking coffee brewed by an AI barista, and playing battle games with robots
In this day and age where non-face-to-face services have become routine due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, the scene of an 'AI robot barista' brewing and handing coffee to a customer at a unmanned cafe is no longer as unfamiliar. To citizens who have not yet experienced coffee made by robots, Gwangju City has prepared AI robot baristas for this event.

During the AICON event period, the AI robot barista serves coffee to visiting citizens, brewed accurately with a golden ratio according to a perfect recipe. When a visitor orders at the kiosk, the robot equipped with AI functions receives the order and dispenses the drink according to taste, adjusting factors like beans, syrup amount, and strength. It takes less than 2 minutes for the coffee to be ready. If you are curious about the taste of coffee made by a robot, come experience the 'unmanned robot store' on this day.
Furthermore, visitors who visit the 'Future Robot Experience' booth can enjoy games with cutting-edge robots. Participants engage in battles while controlling shooting robots with remote controllers on a field. It is a method of moving robots using smart devices or PCs to fire infrared beams and hit competing robots from an FPV (first-person view). The highly immersive robot experience booth is expected to attract the attention of shooting game enthusiasts.

◆ "Now, AI together with studying, exercising, and playing"
If you visit the 'AI Edutech' experience booth, you can experience English education taught by AI. Visitors undergo an English test based on big data to experience customized educational services that allow for level-based learning and determine their current English proficiency. Additionally, a program is available where you can travel to New York while wearing VR equipment to learn English.
Also, at the AI fitness 'My Benefit' experience booth, it provides personalized exercise programs by analyzing data such as body shape, posture, and physical condition changes based on AI.Additionally, the 'Perfect Musician' experience booth showcases an immersive game that plays background music using AI music technology called 'RIMA'.

Not only that. On the main stage in the exhibition hall on the 18th, a 'Human vs AI Quiz Showdown' will take place. When an AI humanoid presents true or false questions, on-site participants choose O or X from the center of the stage. The correct answer is revealed on the LED screen on the humanoid's chest. In addition, there will be an experience stage that allows people to show off their dancing skills using augmented reality for idol cover dances.
