Domestic artificial intelligence (AI) companies are accelerating the integration of proprietary AI models into practical services across various sectors, including communication, translation, education, and finance. This shift goes beyond mere technological development, contributing to the establishment of a 'K-AI ecosystem' that citizens can experience firsthand.
The Ministry of Science and ICT unveiled K-AI case studies centered around companies participating in the Independent AI Foundation (독파모) on May 11.
LG AI Research and LG Uplus have applied the AI model 'EXAONE' to the lifestyle-oriented AI agent 'ixi-O.' ixi-O offers features such as context-based call summaries and real-time detection of potential voice phishing risks.
Lee Min-hyung, a senior official at LG Uplus, stated, "ixi-O has evolved beyond simple transcription to understand conversation context and suggest subsequent actions. We aim to contribute to social safety by addressing the increasingly sophisticated methods of voice phishing."
Kim Yoo-cheol, head of strategy at LG AI Research, emphasized the significance of EXAONE becoming closer to the daily lives of citizens through ixi-O, stating, "The moment technology seamlessly integrates into people's lives is when the most refined AI emerges."
Upstage and Flitto have implemented their proprietary AI model 'Solar Open' in real-time AI translation services. The two companies plan to enhance translation quality and processing speed while expanding real-world applications of domestic AI technology.
SK Telecom (SKT) is targeting the future mobility market with its vehicle AI agent 'A.X Auto,' based on its proprietary AI model 'A.X.' A.X Auto supports voice-only navigation, music playback, vehicle control, and information searches. SKT intends to broaden the application of AI agents across various industries in the future.
Motif Technologies and Mathpresso are working to apply their proprietary AI model to the math learning service 'QANDA.' The focus is on supporting self-directed learning by analyzing and explaining students' problem-solving processes step by step.
Lee Sung-min, head of the AI group at Motif Technologies, explained, "We are focused on implementing human thought processes rather than just simple calculations, and we expect it to serve as an AI learning mentor that fosters students' critical thinking skills."
Naver Cloud has supplied the Bank of Korea with a finance and economics-specialized generative AI platform called 'BOKI (Bank of Korea Intelligence).' This platform supports data retrieval, summarization, Q&A, and economic issue analysis, marking it as the first instance of a generative AI platform being implemented among central banks worldwide.
The Ministry of Science and ICT plans to conduct a second-stage evaluation of the Independent AI Foundation in August, focusing on global benchmark performance and enhancing the scoring for technological independence.
