The Ministry of Science and ICT is accelerating the disclosure of applications for its proprietary AI foundation model to promote its use in various industries. Domestic AI models are being integrated into real services across sectors such as law, gaming, cosmetics, translation, and education, marking a significant step in building the 'K-AI ecosystem'.
On May 18, the ministry unveiled examples of the K-AI ecosystem centered around companies participating in the proprietary AI foundation model initiative.
Upstage's proprietary AI model, 'Solar Open', is being utilized in the legal AI service 'Super Lawyer' in collaboration with the legal tech firm Law & Company. Super Lawyer supports essential tasks for lawyers, including case law searches, legal reviews, and document drafting, aiming to enhance efficiency and productivity in complex legal work.
Krafton showcased its use of SK Telecom's proprietary AI model 'A.X K1' to improve the Korean communication capabilities of in-game characters in 'PUBG'. The company explained that it is enhancing data sophistication to boost the communication quality of the Ally model within the game.
Kim Hyun-seung, head of AI application research at Krafton, stated, "The gameplay of PUBG Ally is collaborative and proactive, unlike traditional NPCs. We are leveraging SKT A.X K1, which excels in understanding Korean language and cultural context, to improve the quality of Korean dialogue for PUBG Ally."
Cheon Seong-jun, technical project manager for SKT's Omnimodal Foundation Model team, expressed hope that the collaboration would support more natural and immersive AI interactions in the gaming environment.
An example of AI-driven cosmetic ingredient development was also presented. LG AI Research's AI model 'ExaOne Discovery' has learned from extensive molecular structure and chemical reaction data, reducing the time required for cosmetic ingredient development from 22 months to just one day.
The Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Korea Startup Promotion Agency are building an ecosystem that enables startups to leverage AI for commercialization based on a proprietary AI model developed by NC AI, facilitating the development of AI solutions tailored to businesses and industrial settings.
Additionally, on May 11, the Ministry of Science and ICT revealed more K-AI application cases. Notable examples included LG Uplus's lifestyle AI agent 'Exio' utilizing LG AI Research's 'ExaOne', Flitto's translation AI service based on Upstage's 'Solar Open', SKT's vehicle AI agent 'A.X Auto', and Motif Technologies' AI math learning service 'Qanda'.
