In December last year, KFC launched its first Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled cafe in Beijing, with an aim to create more innovative and interesting dining experiences for customers. At the restaurant, customers are able to take pictures with a machine, which will recognize the diner's face, sex, age, mood and other features, then help to recommend suitable food and set meals and complete the ordering process. With another machine with an inbuilt augmented reality feature, customers were able to interact with the machine, change facial expressions by shaking their heads in front of the machine, take photos, and save them to their phones.
