What inspired you to participate in the Global Tech Awards?

At Perfect Corp., we’re always seeking out opportunities to highlight the real, positive impact our AI and AR technologies are having on beauty and fashion brands, retailers, and shoppers. The Global Tech Awards is one of the most widely-recognized and respected platforms for illustrating the ways that innovations are reshaping industries, so we saw it as an ideal platform for sharing our advancements. What’s more, we are excited by the opportunity to connect with and learn from innovators in industries beyond beauty and fashion, so we appreciated the broad range of industries the Global Tech Awards brings together.

Can you share a brief overview of the project or innovation you submitted?

We nominated our Beautiful AI suite of technologies. Beautiful AI encompasses all of the AI tools that we offer to brand and retail partners to enhance the shopping experience, including AI skin analysis and virtual makeup and jewelry try-on. It’s our core belief that Perfect Corp.’s technologies make shoppers feel their most beautiful selves by connecting them with products and treatments that perfectly suit their unique features, needs, and preferences.

What impact do you hope your innovation will have on the tech industry or society at large?

Our goal is to set new standards for what’s possible with AI and AR. Our aim is always to create technology that’s more personalized, scalable, simple to integrate, and enjoyable to use than any other technology like it. By pushing AI and AR technology’s current limits, we hope to inspire the broader tech industry to also aim for uncompromising innovation, accessibility, performance and exceptional user experience.

Any advice or insights for aspiring innovators and tech professionals?

My advice is to focus on your goals, keep them at the forefront of your mind, and pursue them with passion and persistence. When you’re working on an innovation or technology that has never been created before, it may seem to outsiders like you’re attempting the impossible, which can lead them to doubt or question your vision. However, I’ve learned that true innovation only happens when someone is unwavering in their mission and unafraid to push boundaries. It’s this determination and belief often transforms that seemingly impossible into a tangible reality.

What are your future goals or aspirations in the tech industry, and how do you plan to contribute to advancements in your field?

One of our key aspirations is to introduce AI- and AR-powered technology that seamlessly blends digital and physical experiences across all of our key verticals (beauty, skin, and fashion). We’ve found that consumers are increasingly looking for experiences blending online shopping’s convenience and extensive selection with the tactile, social, and engaging elements of in-person shopping. I believe with our decade of experience in developing technology that addresses shopping’s evolving desires, Perfect Corp. is uniquely poised to lead the way in creating the next generation of immersive, omnichannel shopping experiences.

In terms of contributing to advancements in the field of retail technology, Perfect Corp. has several new technologies and enhancements that we are confident will make shopping significantly more personalized, streamlined, and delightful. That includes Perfect Beauty Agent, an AI assistant framework for beauty companies. Perfect Beauty Agent is a proprietarily trained AI assistant framework delivering tailored, real-time beauty and skincare advice. Powered by large language model technology, it provides personalized recommendations tailored to beauty lovers’ needs, featuring natural chat capabilities and immersive AI/AR experiences such as virtual try-on and AI skin analysis. Additionally, Perfect Corp.’s Skincare Pro technology is revolutionizing consultations in the medical spa and dermatology space by delivering instant, AI-powered skin diagnostics with clinical-grade precision. This cutting-edge tool empowers professionals to provide highly personalized skincare recommendations in seconds—enhancing trust, efficiency, and client satisfaction.

Are there any emerging trends or technologies that you believe will have a profound impact on the tech industry in the coming years?

I believe AI assistants are poised to fundamentally reshape the relationship between people and technology. Once AI assistants are mature and accessible, they have the potential to replace search engines and navigation menus as the default digital interface. I see the proliferation of AI assistants as a positive force, as it will compel technology vendors and their clients to re-examine whether product discovery, customer service, and other processes meet the needs of today’s consumers—thus sparking exciting innovations.
