AICU Inc., an international start-up company from Digital Hollywood University with the vision of "creating people who create" in the age of generative AI, has launched the "Visual Communication Development Project" to develop a new video market using AI. AICU Inc. will take on the challenge of developing a new visual communication market in Japan and around the world with the help of collaborating creators. As the first challenge, we produced a demo reel "AICU - AI Creators Union Demo Reel 2024 Summer". This demo reel, which was produced in an astonishingly fast 7 days from planning to release, was completed with the collaboration of existing production methods in the video industry, respect among individual AI creators, and support from international AI startups such as Stability AI. The reel depicts the possibilities and methodologies of Japanese generative AI.

Dr. Akihiko Shirai, CEO of AICU and producer of "AICU - AI Creators Union - Demo Reel 2024 Summer," the division's first presentation, said, "The openness of image-generating AI, represented by Stable Diffusion, has opened up new possibilities for visual expression for everyone. This is the culmination of more than 50 years of research in computer graphics and machine learning, shared at international conferences such as SIGGRAPH, and the relentless challenge of its creators. However, there are still many issues that need to be resolved in the production of images for large corporations, and AICU has a role as a Creator Union, a Cooperation Unit that connects corporations and creators with respect, and a platform for the creation of digital content. As an international start-up company from Digital Hollywood University with a long history in digital contents, we would like to contribute to the future development of creators in an open manner through corporate activities and online communication. This reel was produced in a very short period of time, and would not have been possible without the passion and AI image generation technology of the three creators and the production team who participated in this project. The difficult elements and pipeline construction know-how of individual AI creators and corporate professional productions were also rapidly gathered. We have already received a good response from overseas companies, and we would like to continue this activity in the future, and would very much like to cooperate with interested companies and creators," he said.
