Approaching AI Technology
AI Deep Learning Agreement with USE (Urban Sharing Economy)

Everyone must have ordered by kiosks in places like Burger King. It will not be long before we can see more advanced artificial intelligence (AI) unmanned stores at Sangmyung University.
On July 22th, Sangmyung University exchanged business agreements with USE (Urban Sharing Economy), to open an AI(artificial intelligence) Deep Learning Institute. USE (Urban Sharing Economy) is a regional-based shared economy business platform established in 2018. Its goal is to implement a Sharing company model, using core technology such as FinTech payment and AI business model as an infrastructure.Although it is a small venture company, it is growing rapidly, receiving TI-3 (the highest grade in technology) in the NICE Technology Credit Assessment in June. It currently focuses on installing, distributing and expanding “AISS Go (3.0ver)”, an AI-based unmanned vending machine.
The unmanned vending machine “AISS Go” has been recognized as a patent for all processes of opening doors when the QR code is read, taking out desired products and recognizing products with AI vision cameras. There is a basic type, and a design type that adds external design details.
While existing vending machines already have a set purpose such as selling coffee and beverages, but the AISS Go can replace products regardless of items at any time after deep learning, making efficient sales. Moreover, it would be easy to start a business and switch industries. While untact consumption is rising in the Posco - Corona era, AISS Go could be used well in many places, including Sangmyung University.
Both sides are planning to install an AI unmanned store using AISS Go at Sangmyung University. At the same time, students could have opportunities to experience and study AI systems, thereby, improving unmanned commerce system technology.
Baek Woong-ki, Sangmyung University President, said "We will help each other by displaying local small businesses' products at unmanned stores." Park Jin-seok, CEO of USE, said "We started research with Sangmyung University's Industrial-Academic Cooperation Group while considering improving the speed of deep learning. We will expand our business agreements to create a new AI unmanned commerce market.”
