Korean AI startup Ailive announced on the 20th that it had won the Innovation Award in the artificial intelligence category at CES 2025, the world’s largest consumer electronics show held in Las Vegas next January. The Consumer Technology Association (CTA), which hosts CES, selects the best technologies or products in each category each November to award the “CES Innovation Award”.

The award-winning ‘Ailive Studio’ is a platform that revolutionizes the 3D content creation process through generative AI technology, allowing anyone to easily create and utilize game, AR/VR, and virtual human content without any specialized skills.

Ailive Studio is designed to allow users to create their own 3D characters by simply entering image or text prompts. Characters are implemented in an interactive form, including motion, expression, and voice. The platform recommends suitable props, backgrounds, and music, and users can share or sell completed content on the platform to monetize.

In addition, Ailive is expanding its presence in the global game market through ‘Genaimo’, a B2B SaaS specialized in 3D motion generation. Genaimo provides features for professional 3D creators to generate and style character motions, reducing animation production costs by more than 95% while improving the detail and performance of creative work.

“I am delighted that our efforts to lower the barriers to 3D content creation have been recognized at CES,” said Do-hee Lee, CEO of Ailive. “We will lead the way for both 3D creators and companies to achieve greater growth.”

Founded in 2023, Ailive took its first step through the Ministry of SMEs and Startups’ in-house venture fostering program and was selected as a TIPS company in 2024. In addition, by being selected for the Seoul-type private investment-linked technology commercialization project, the company is accelerating its business expansion based on its technological R&D capabilities.

Ailive is currently an incumbent company of the Pangyo Startup Zone, established by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and operated by the Korea Creative Economy Innovation Center and Gyeonggi Creative Economy Innovation Center.
