Image and face recognition platforms and solutions have been a major focus in the technology sector over the past two decades. Images and face recognition technology are used in many industries, including healthcare, security, e-commerce and security. This has resulted in remarkable progress. Experts believe this technology can perform at or even surpass human-level in many medical diagnoses and security domains. Many brands now use image recognition technology to harness the intersection of visual analytics and text to understand the industry and target audience, and to deploy visual intelligence to drive meaningful communications.

When Norio Ichihashi is involved in a project, anyone with any sense had better pay attention.

"There are serious problems with the way children learn a second language," says Kenichi Kainuma, the CEO of AI Teach U Shanghai, which created Zangu, along with Ichihashi. "There's always been problems with children – and even adults – learning a new or a second language."
