Comment from Representative San Kikuchi San Kikuchi, Representative of Akamedia Japan

"We are deeply honored that ONLINE FACE's initiatives have been internationally recognized at the Globee Awards for Artificial Intelligence.

ONLINE FACE has been developed with the aim of being 'a social infrastructure that can safely and fairly implement national qualifications and statutory training online', not just a mere e-learning system.

We believe that AI-powered identity verification and anti-fraud measures will become indispensable technologies in the future education, qualification, and public sectors. Encouraged by this award, as an AI authentication technology originating from Japan, we will further accelerate the construction of a safer and more reliable digital platform and its expansion both domestically and internationally."

What is 'ONLINE FACE®'? 'ONLINE FACE®' is an e-learning system that automatically performs identity verification and anti-fraud measures in an online environment using the world's first proprietary AI patented technology.

By meeting certain standards set by various ministries and agencies, it is widely adopted for statutory training and examinations related to national qualifications, as well as for entrance education and safety education at factories and construction sites, and for the DX and online transformation of in-house training.

It can also be utilized as a tool to comprehensively achieve cost reduction and productivity improvement by cutting down on the need for frequent event setups, securing instructor time, and reducing participants' travel time, unlike conventional methods.

'ONLINE FACE®'s Proprietary Patented Technology During online courses, identity verification is performed automatically in the system's background multiple times at random intervals, rather than fixed intervals, using a proprietary algorithm.

Authentication may occur two or three times per minute, or once every three minutes, with the timing of authentication changing each time a course is taken.

Since participants do not know when or at what timing identity verification will occur, they can take the course rigorously with an appropriate level of tension even online.

In the event of leaving the seat, impersonation, dozing off, etc., an authentication error warning will be displayed on the user screen. If re-authentication cannot be completed within the time limit, the system will temporarily suspend, return to the beginning of the lecture, or return to the last successful authentication point.
