Friso Launches The Awesome AI Kaleidoscope 3.0: From Tech-Driven Innovation to the Future of Parent-Child Bonding
Shanghai, China, May 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Friso, the Dutch infant nutrition brand with a longstanding commitment to early childhood development, has officially launched the upgraded Awesome AI Kaleidoscope 3.0 storybook in partnership with a leading local smart home platform. The new edition introduces three core features—child-as-character integration, touch-activated animations, and interactive doodling—marking a breakthrough in parent-child engagement. By breaking away from the traditional model of one-way storytelling, where parents narrate and children passively listen, the product reimagines shared reading as an interactive and emotionally resonant experience. Children are no longer just listeners; they become characters within the story and co-creators of the narrative. This shift transforms companionship from content consumption into emotional co-creation, delivering a deeper sense of immersion and personalization. More importantly, it offers a glimpse into how AI may reshape emotional expression and connection in next-generation family dynamics. Challenges in China's Maternal & Child Market and AI's Emerging Solutions As urbanization accelerates and dual-income households become the norm, Chinese families are facing unprecedented structural challenges in parenting. The scarcity of quality time, the monotony of repetitive content, and the lack of effective emotional communication channels have become widespread concerns among modern parents. These anxieties are particularly evident as post-90s and post-95s generations emerge as the dominant force in maternal and child consumption, with growing expectations for 'high-quality companionship' and 'intelligent interaction.' Traditional parenting approaches often fall short of meeting their complex demands for technology-driven, personalized, and emotionally meaningful experiences. At the same time, AI is evolving from a functional tool into an integrated, contextual force capable of reshaping parent-child dynamics. From voice synthesis and image generation to content customization and interactive delivery, AI is helping transform parenting products from mere 'information transmitters' into 'emotional connectors.' Its advanced data processing and personalized content generation capabilities offer new solutions to three critical pain points in the industry: lack of companionship, lack of interaction, and lack of empathy. Friso is responding to this shift by leveraging AIGC (Artificial Intelligence-Generated Content) to create more emotionally resonant and participatory parent-child experiences. This innovation marks a significant step in the evolution of China's maternal and child industry—from efficiency-driven parenting to emotionally intelligent caregiving. Technology-Driven: How AI Is Reshaping the Parent-Child Bonding Experience Since its launch in 2023, The Awesome AI Kaleidoscope audio storybook has undergone three major rounds of technological upgrades, steadily evolving into an AI-powered content IP centered on 'parental voice companionship.' Anchored by the emotional theme of 'cloning a parent's voice,' the product uses advanced AI voice synthesis technology to transform the parent's voice into a key medium of everyday connection. With just a single recorded sentence, parents can generate a fully narrated storybook in their own voice—allowing their familiar tone to accompany children through reading, bedtime, and daily moments of growth. Even when work or distance keeps parents physically away, technology ensures their voice remains present, offering comfort and emotional continuity. This innovative feature has become a new way for many families to strengthen emotional bonds, redefining how love and presence are expressed in the digital age. Building on its foundation of emotional voice interaction, The Awesome AI Kaleidoscope also focuses on enhancing the child's sense of participation by allowing them to be visually represented in the story. Using AI-powered image generation, the storybook can integrate the child's likeness into the role of the main character, enabling them to truly 'step into the story.' Children embark on imaginative adventures alongside characters in a pastoral setting, creating a stronger sense of immersion and belonging. This personalized storytelling experience deepens engagement and strengthens the emotional connection between parent and child. In its 3.0 version, The Awesome AI Kaleidoscope further enhances its immersive features—child integration, personalized narration, and touch-activated animations—pioneering a new interactive model that shifts the experience from simply listening to stories to playing with stories. Touch-Activated Animations: Powered by AI-based image recognition and response technology, children can tap characters in the storybook to trigger animations, bringing the story to life and deepening the sense of interactivity and engagement. Interactive Doodling: Newly added coloring and drawing functions encourage children to create their own visuals as they read, transforming them from passive listeners into active participants, while fostering self-expression and imagination. From voice-based companionship to immersive interaction, and from one-way storytelling to co-creation between parent and child, The Awesome AI Kaleidoscope uses technology to enhance emotional expression in more natural and intelligent ways. It is reshaping how families communicate and connect in today's digital age—and unlocking a new vision for the maternal and child industry, where parenting is inherently rooted in shared presence and emotional connection. Future Outlook: A New Parent-Child Ecosystem Powered by AI As technology continues to advance, the role of AI in the maternal and child care market will deepen significantly. Future parenting tools will not only focus on enhancing product functionality—they will become the driving force behind a new, connected ecosystem of parent-child engagement. AI will soon be capable of analyzing children's behaviors and emotional states to deliver personalized parenting recommendations. Through the seamless integration of smart hardware, it will facilitate continuous connection among family members. Meanwhile, data-driven insights will enable parents to adopt more scientific and informed approaches to child development and care. As AI becomes more deeply embedded in everyday family life, brands will evolve from being mere product providers to ecosystem enablers—collaborating with parents to co-create smarter, more personalized, and emotionally responsive parenting solutions. Conclusion: Co-Creating the Future of Parent-Child Bonding in the AI Era As AI technology continues to evolve, the way families connect is shifting from traditional models to future-forward experiences—from 'telling stories' to 'co-creating stories,' from one-way interaction to dynamic, two-way engagement. Technology is redefining how emotional bonds are formed and expressed within the family. But this transformation is more than just a technological breakthrough—it reflects a deeper convergence of brand vision, product innovation, and family values. Truly meaningful AI-powered parenting solutions must not only be intelligent, but also empathetic. They must not only understand user needs, but also sense the warmth and depth of family relationships. In the years ahead, AI will move beyond the role of a parenting assistant to become a true emotional connector within the household. While it may never replace the role of a parent, it can extend their presence and deepen emotional expression—ensuring children feel supported, understood, and loved throughout their development. As exemplified by The Awesome AI Kaleidoscope 3.0, AI is no longer just a tool—it is evolving into a responsive, emotionally aware 'member' of the family. One that can interact, co-create, and build meaningful connections between brands, technology, and modern households. China's maternal and child industry is now on the cusp of an AI-powered revolution in parent-child companionship. This is not merely an upgrade in tools—it's a generational shift in how parenting is experienced, expressed, and shared. And the next chapter of this transformation will be co-authored by every innovator, every parenting brand, and every next-generation family.

"산시로 가자" Goes Global
XI'AN, China, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This is a news release from the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism: As of April 30, 2025, the official English social media accounts of "산시로 가자" have attracted 285K followers worldwide, with over 10 million views and 320K+ engagements (likes, comments, shares, and more). One of the most popular recent posts was a creative, spring-themed video powered by AI technology, which beautifully brought Shaanxi's cultural landmarks to life. In the video, vibrant flowers bloom across iconic buildings, blending tradition with modern technology to showcase the region's springtime charm. The video captivated global audiences — not just with its stunning visuals, but also with the immersive feeling it created, as if viewers were right there. This innovative use of AI helped boost engagement and sparked international interest in visiting Shaanxi. But that's just the beginning. On World Wildlife Day, "산시로 가자" released a striking poster featuring the Four Treasures of the Qinling Mountains — the giant panda, crested ibis, golden snub-nosed monkey, and takin. With its beautiful design and strong environmental message, the poster quickly gained traction among international audiences. Viewers praised the poster for both its artistic quality and its call for wildlife protection. Many commented on the importance of conservation and expressed appreciation for how the design reflected those values. Around the same time, "산시로 가자" also launched themed content for International Women's Day and other global holidays. These efforts combined cultural storytelling with seasonal celebrations, drawing more attention to the account and enriching the variety of content offered to followers. On YouTube, three videos were posted, all showcasing the beauty of Shaanxi in spring. One standout video — created using AI-generated content (AIGC) — used vivid effects to show flowers blooming across Shaanxi's landscapes. The result was a breathtaking, colorful, and energetic portrayal of the province awakening in spring. With creative storytelling, striking visuals, and smart use of emerging technology, "산시로 가자" continues to share the province's natural beauty and deep culture with the world — one post, one video, and one moment at a time.

World's First AI Mazu Statue Launched At Tianhou Temple In Malaysia
AI Mazu Statue at Tianhou Temple in Johor, Malaysia was launched on April 20 to celebrate Mazu's 1,065th birthday. The Tianhou Temple in Johor, Malaysia, recently introduced the world's first AI powered Mazu statue. Created by Malaysian tech company Aimazin, the digital deity allows devotees to interact with the goddess, by asking for blessings, guidance and advice. This groundbreaking technology was launched on April 20 to celebrate Mazu's 1,065th birthday. To show its capabilities, Aimazin founder Shin Kong tested the AI by asking for advice on improving luck, to which it kindly suggested him to stay at home for better fortune. In another instance, when an influencer asked the solution for insomnia, Mazu advised them to drink warm water before bed As per the South China Morning Post, Mazu, originally named Lin Mo, was born in 960 on Meizhou Island in Fujian, China. There are stories about her death while trying to save people from a shipwreck. After her passing, she went to heaven, where she became a protector of sailors and fishermen. Mazu is majorly worshipped by Chinese communities around the world, particularly in countries like Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. As per Aimazin's website, 'Our cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) technology empowers creators, entrepreneurs, and content producers to enhance productivity and unlock boundless potential effortlessly. We're more than a tech company, we're a passionate team dedicated to merging human creativity with Al. We provide the tools and support needed to transform ideas into reality, marking a new era of innovation." Interestingly, Chinese actress Liu Tao is worshipped in some homes, as many believe she's the living form of Mazu. This belief started after she played the role of the goddess in the 2012 television drama. In some places, people even hang photographs of Liu Tao in their homes, to worship and take blessings of her. People respect the goddess so much that several police stations in the region have named their rooms after her. It's believed that criminals, especially from Fujian, won't be able to lie in front of Mazu. The AI Mazu at Tianhou Temple uses natural language processing, which means it can understand and reply to questions or blessing requests in Mandarin and other languages. The system has been trained using stories, religious books and teachings about Mazu, so that the answers it gives stay respectful and traditional. First Published:
