About
What is AI Character Association
AI Character Association (AICA) is an independent body that researches, organizes, and recognizes the AI character field. We cover all AI-driven characters, including AI VTubers, AItubers, AI influencers, and conversational AI characters.
Mission
To contribute to the visibility and healthy development of this domain by systematically studying and documenting the AI character field, and by selecting and honoring outstanding activities.
Three Pillars
Recognition — Selection & Awards
Through the AI Character Awards, we select and recognize outstanding projects based on year-round research and an independent perspective.
Research — Study & Documentation
We continuously survey the AI character field, organize its categories, and document its trends as columns and reports.
Criteria — Standards & Evaluation
We publish fair evaluation criteria across five axes: character identity, technical implementation, audience experience, cultural impact, and sustainability.
Independence
AICA maintains an independent position from any specific company, platform, or developer. This independence is the foundation of the credibility of our selection and documentation activities.
