How has the AI ​​DX trend changed this season?

The 5th AI / Artificial Intelligence EXPO Spring will be held from April 7th to 9th, 2021 . Last year it was held only in autumn due to the influence of the new coronavirus, but this year it will be held in spring and autumn.

Many people visit this exhibition as a place for business negotiations between exhibitors that develop AI solutions and people in various industries who are trying to introduce and utilize AI.

Among the exhibitors, you can see many AI solutions such as image/ speech recognition , data analysis, chatbots, etc., so it is a great opportunity for those who are thinking about introducing and utilizing AI.

This time, ahead of the event, we interviewed six companies about the highlights of their booths and trends in AI DX this season.
