SEOUL, South Korea, July 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CJ Group is set to launch Millstone CUE, an AI-powered video solution, this August. The platform will offer a range of services, from video search and editing to content generation. Initially, it will focus on automatically detecting and blurring people and objects within videos, with plans to expand its features in the future.
Millstone CUE incorporates proprietary AI Blur and AI Remover technologies. These advanced systems can automatically detect and either blur or seamlessly remove individuals, brand logos, and filming equipment from video footage. Going beyond traditional manual editing, the system comprehends the full context of a video and processes it automatically. Rigorous testing has shown that it can slash editing time by up to 91 percent.
CJ ENM has already successfully implemented AI Blur in its internal video production processes, confirming its accuracy and effectiveness. The technology was put to use in YouTube content featuring the K-pop sensation ZEROBASEONE and Mnet’s popular show WORLD OF STREET WOMAN FIGHTER, significantly accelerating the delivery of polished, professional videos.
Once officially launched, Millstone CUE will be accessible to creators, broadcasters, and businesses, democratizing advanced video editing tools across the content industry.
What sets Millstone CUE apart from existing services is its use of proprietary AI to identify and track people and objects without the need for reference images. The system performs consistently across various angles, lighting conditions, and distances. CJ Group has filed patent applications for this technology in both South Korea and international markets.
Content creators often grapple with the challenge of removing sensitive or unwanted content due to time and budget constraints. Meanwhile, videos featuring numerous individuals are shared widely and indiscriminately. The unauthorized exposure of individuals’ faces poses serious risks, including privacy violations, unauthorized use, and potential criminal exploitation. Additionally, unwanted elements like visible filming equipment can diminish a video’s overall quality and viewer experience.
Millstone CUE addresses these issues by safeguarding individual rights and automating repetitive, labor-intensive editing tasks through AI. This allows creators to focus on their artistic vision. The tool facilitates efficient and ethically responsible content production, ensuring both speed and integrity in the creative process, including complex CG/VFX workflows.
CJ Group views Millstone CUE as a crucial step towards revolutionizing content creation. The company aims to enhance the platform with AI innovations in video search, editing, and generation, ultimately improving content quality and viewer engagement.
“Millstone CUE marks the beginning of our journey to transform culture through AI,” said Chihoon Lee, head of CJ’s AI R&D Division. “Our AI technology serves as a creative collaborator and enabler, facilitating the production of immersive, high-quality content. We’re shaping the future of Korea-focused AI, leveraging our global technological strengths to spearhead the next wave of cultural innovation.”
