The Ministry of Science and ICT has unveiled applications of its proprietary AI foundation model, known as 독파모, across various industries. From national heritage administration to financial services, automotive AI, and domestic AI semiconductors, the model is driving innovation and expanding the K-AI ecosystem.
On June 8, the ministry presented examples of the K-AI ecosystem, focusing on companies participating in the 독파모 initiative.
The Korea Heritage Promotion Agency plans to enhance administrative efficiency and improve public services by integrating the 독파모 AI model into its operations. The model will also be applied to the existing national heritage image generation service, HAI (Heritage AI), enabling citizens to engage with national heritage in more creative and accessible ways.
LG AI Research and FuriosaAI are collaborating on a full-stack initiative that combines domestic AI models with AI semiconductors. The LG AI Research's generative AI model, EXAONE, will run on FuriosaAI's second-generation neural processing unit, RNGD. The two companies aim to leverage the synergy between domestic AI models and semiconductors to expand their presence in the global AI ecosystem.
In partnership with 42dot, a self-driving software company under SK Telecom, the development of a large-scale language model (LLM) for vehicles is underway. The goal is to create a voice AI agent optimized for automotive environments by integrating SK Telecom's AI model with 42dot's vehicle software technology. The collaboration will focus on enhancing natural language interactions within vehicles by building specialized voice datasets.
NC AI is working with Shinhan Bank to implement AI-based digital twin technology in financial settings. By creating a virtual environment that mirrors actual bank branches, they will analyze customer flow and operational processes, allowing for pre-simulation of counter layouts and kiosk operations. This initiative aims to improve operational efficiency and customer convenience while supporting innovation in financial services.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Science and ICT plans to conduct a second-phase evaluation of the 독파모 initiative in August. Participants in this evaluation will include LG AI Research, SK Telecom, Upstage, and Motif Technologies, with an expected emphasis on global benchmark performance and technological uniqueness.
