The latest artificial intelligence technologies and services are on display at an exhibition in Tokyo.

About 300 companies are taking part in the second AI Expo this year. Many exhibitors are working on innovations designed to help firms cope with dwindling manpower.

One Tokyo-based firm is showcasing technology that analyzes drone footage of farms to detect damage from diseases and pests.

Another company has designed a system that uses AI to decide whether potential employees are suitable to hire.

Also on display is an AI-equipped cash register that can analyze pictures of products and calculate the total price instantly.
