Tokyo startup Couger is currently combining blockchain technology, AI and AR to create a virtual girlfriend. The virtual girlfriend was developed by Couger out of Connectomes project, which began in 2014, and Connectome created a smart space by bringing together different devices and technologies to create innovations.
In a report by the Nikkei Asian Review, Couger CEO Atsushi Ishii showcased a virtual girlfriend in a video. He talks to his virtual girlfriend in the video: Can you come over here?
The virtual girlfriend quickly answered OK, and then moved from the PC to the smartphone, and at the same time, the camera mode of the phone was turned on to start the AR experience. Then, Virtual Girlfriend responded: This is a beautiful chair. In the process, Virtual Girlfriend used AI-driven image recognition capabilities to evaluate each shot in the room.

Using blockchain to record what AI has learned
Couger believes that although AI can learn by recognizing and analyzing patterns in large amounts of data, people will still be skeptical of the judgments drawn by AI. Because when AI is learning, humans do not know the process of AI using data.

What are the benefits of combining blockchain technology with AI?
Forbes contributor Bernard Marr agrees with Atsushi Ishii. He believes that it is sometimes difficult for people to understand the decisions made by AI. Although AI algorithms can assess whether financial transactions are fraudulent, most cases still require manual audits, he said.
Bernard Marr believes that despite the obvious advantages of AI applications, if the public does not trust AI, the scope of AI use will be limited. If the decision-making process of AI can be carried out on the blockchain, it will help the public to trust AI technology more, and people can also gain higher levels of insight and transparency through the robots mind. Bernard Marr said: If decisions are recorded on the blockchain, on a datapoint-by-datapoint basis, this will make auditing easier, because blockchain technology provides a mutual trust environment where information cannot be tampered with.
In addition, compared to humans and traditional computers, AI can also bring more efficient management methods to blockchain management. Although traditional computers are fast, they cannot complete tasks without explicit instructions. AI can manage blockchain tasks in a smarter and more thoughtful way.
