AITV pioneers ‘two-way personalised TV' with fully-interactive AI-driven experience
Artificial intelligence will change the way we watch television. – AI Image KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 1): AITV Technologies, Inc. is making waves in the media industry with a groundbreaking approach to television by transforming passive viewership into a fully interactive experience driven by artificial intelligence (AI). Founded by tech veterans from Oracle, Citrix, and AI Streaming, the Silicon Valley-based company is pioneering what it calls 'two-way, personalised TV'. This new model fuses ultra-low-latency streaming, Web3 infrastructure, and AI to reshape how content is consumed and created. At the core of AITV's innovation is its patented Interactive Content Delivery Network (iCDN) originally developed by NETSTAIRS, which enables intelligent avatars, real-time watch parties, and modular digital media rooms. Designed to accommodate up to one million simultaneous viewers, the platform supports live, personalised interactions without the need for specialised infrastructure or downloads. One of the standout features is AITV's AI-Human avatars—virtual hosts capable of adapting in real time to user input—delivering guided, immersive experiences that feel both personal and dynamic. The platform also integrates blockchain technology, allowing viewers to tokenise their participation. This opens up novel avenues for users to co-create content, prompt AI hosts, and earn rewards, effectively democratising the content creation process. Far from replacing traditional broadcasting systems, AITV functions as a middleware layer that integrates seamlessly with existing platforms. This allows broadcasters, creators, and media companies to retain control of their audiences while unlocking new monetisation opportunities through AI-enhanced programming. Beyond entertainment, AITV's technology is being positioned for education, esports, ESG communications, news, and public outreach, making it a versatile tool for governments, non-governmental organisations, and institutions seeking to boost engagement and transparency. AITV refers to this new model as the beginning of the 'adaptive media era'—a future in which content evolves in real time with its audience—ensuring data sovereignty and equitable revenue distribution. The company's disruptive potential was spotlighted during a new episode of Tek Talk by KROOM which aired recently. The episode delved into how AITV is redefining the television experience, with a focus on its fusion of AI, blockchain, and live streaming technology.

Hong Kong dancer Mo Li sues 12 parties for damages over Mirror concert accident
A Hong Kong dancer left paralysed after being hit by a falling giant screen at a concert by popular Cantopop boy band Mirror in 2022 is suing a government department and 11 other parties involved in the show's production for an undisclosed amount of compensation. The defendants have been accused of negligence and breaching their duty of care. Among those named in the claims are the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, a contractor it hired, and a Guangdong-based stage production house, according to writs filed to the High Court this month. Injured dancer Mo Li Kai-yin, 30, was left paralysed from the neck down in the accident at the Hong Kong Coliseum, operated by the department, and is currently receiving treatment overseas. Li, represented by his lawyers, filed three writs, claiming damages 'for the catastrophic personal injuries, loss and damage' he sustained on July 28, 2022 while working as a dancer at the Mirror concert. During the show, a 500kg (1,100lbs) LED screen measuring four metres (13 feet) by four metres and suspended from the ceiling suddenly fell and hit Li. Another dancer, Chang Tsz-fung, was left with a fractured pelvis. Following the accident, backstage lights did not turn on immediately, complicating rescue efforts. Mirror members, who were wearing monitoring headsets, were unable to react in time. Investigations revealed that the main contractor misreported the weights of the equipment and components. The writs said the incident was 'contributed to by the negligence and/or breach of duty of care' on the part of the defendants. Seven defendants are listed in the first writ, including the director of leisure and cultural services and Fugro (Hong Kong), which was engaged by the department to provide vetting services for the event. The other five defendants are Engineering Impact, Infinity Project Management, Hip Hing Loong Stage Engineering, United Technical Services, and C.A.N.I. Four other production companies were listed in the second writ. They are Li's employer, Studiodanz, The Clan Too, Hong Kong Innotech Media Production, and In Technical Productions. Dongguan Yaolong Stage Production has been sued for damages under a separate writ. It is based in Changping township in Guangdong province's Dongguan city. A spokesman for the department said: 'As there is an intended claim against the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, no comments will be given on this matter at this stage.' The District Court in May acquitted three backstage staff from Engineering Impact and Infinity Project Management of conspiracy to defraud authorities after it found they lacked a motive to deliberately understate the weight of stage equipment, including the giant screen that collapsed. The court also found that instead of the false data, it was inferior standards of work, shoddy stage design and an engineer's negligence in vetting the set-up that were to blame for the collapse. Last week, Li shared a filtered photo of himself for the first time on his Instagram account since the accident three years ago. The filter playfully altered his facial features. The half-body shot of him sitting in a white T-shirt also showed what looked like a surgical scar near his collarbone from a tracheotomy. 'It's me,' Li wrote in the post. 'I wanted to share a few recent small moments that have lifted my spirits and see if I can get some positive energy from all of you.' - SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST

Shanghai police bust gang selling counterfeit Labubu toys
Counterfeit Labubu dolls being displayed for sale on the sidewalk in Manhattan, New York City. - Reuters SHANGHAI: Police in Shanghai busted a gang making and selling fake Labubus this month, detaining eight people and 5,000 counterfeit toys worth US$1.7 million, local state-owned media reported. Made by Beijing-based toymaker Pop Mart, Labubu dolls have become a must-have item internationally, adorning the handbags of celebrities such as Rihanna and Dua Lipa. The furry, fanged creatures, which typically sell for around $40, are released in limited quantities and have caused frenzies at stores around the world. Knock-offs -- many of which are also made in China -- have flooded online platforms, dubbed "Lafufus" by social media users. The Shanghai bust in early July uncovered 12-million-yuan ($1.7-million) worth of fake Pop Mart toys, state-run Shanghai Daily reported late Tuesday. Pop Mart notified police when a customer reported that one purchased online was in fact fake. This led to the discovery of an online store that sold fans, speakers and gaming consoles -- but was also a front for selling the counterfeits. Police raided a warehouse, detaining eight people and the 5,000 toys, complete with forged trademarks and fake anti-counterfeit stickers, the report said. It is not the first time the fluffy monsters have been associated with crime. In Singapore, CCTV footage captured a family stealing Labubu dolls from a claw machine last year, according to online media outlet AsiaOne. And in June, burglars broke into a store in California and took several Labubu dolls along with electronics and other valuables, US news outlet ABC reported. - AFP
