AIBIX Lab on Wednesday released AIBIX, a Korean index that measures AI brand competitiveness across 715 brands in 30 F&B and franchise categories. The index analyzes how often brands appear in repeated questions to four generative AI models, their share of mentions and whether official sources are cited. Results showed market leaders were not always top in AI rankings and winners differed by AI. Official brand materials were rarely cited.
