A study on application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for cosmetics: Quantum computer is necessary for Beauty-field analysis

Artificial Intelligence (Hereinafter, AI) technology has attraction in recent years. AI technology is a combination of the software technology represented by “Deep Learning” and the hardware technology represented by “GPU”. GPU stands for Graphic Processing Unit. And the GPU has the function of performing parallel processing at high speed like a human brain. The current AI system is established by the evolution of “GPU” and “Deep Learning”. Deep learning is often taken up, but the current AI technology can't be explained without GPU evolution. Current AI technology is established with balance between software and hardware technologies. As is well known, high performance AI technology is applied in the field of driving of automobiles and security system. On the other hand, utilization of AI in the cosmetic field has been delayed. Because the current AI still can't analyze human emotions and feelings. “Beauty” has to analyze human instinctive area, which is very difficult. In the area of “Beauty”, virtual make-up is realized by image processing. Or it is used for analysis of skin color and so on. For example, take a photo of skin color by the smart-phone and customize the foundation that matches skin color. In this way, AI is beginning to be used gradually even in the cosmetics field. In this paper, we will give an opinion on the application of AI to cosmetics.
