The Korea Institute of Small and Medium Enterprises and Technology (KIST) is conducting a national voting event titled "AI National Vote Event for Transforming Manufacturing" until November 22.
According to KIST, voting began on November 6. Twelve projects are participating in the proof of concept (PoC) pilot study for the "Development of Multi AI Agents Specialized for Small Manufacturing" initiative.
This voting aims to allow citizens to explore how AI can address challenges in manufacturing and to broaden the understanding of the necessity and potential of AI utilization.
KIST has released videos showcasing the application of AI in various manufacturing scenarios, including enhancing aircraft assembly efficiency, quality control in tofu production, and improving workflow in cosmetics development.
Citizens can watch the manufacturing AI case videos and vote for the project they find most impressive. To participate, they must subscribe to KIST's official YouTube channel, view the case videos on the voting information page, and select up to three projects via a Google Form.
The national vote is linked to the evaluation process of the proof of concept pilot study, which assesses the applicability and effectiveness of AI technology in manufacturing.
Selected projects will receive support for advancing AI agent collaboration technology and field demonstrations.
Previously, KIST completed the selection evaluation for the "Development of Multi AI Agents Specialized for Small Manufacturing" in September, receiving 172 project submissions and ultimately selecting 12.
Kim Young-shin, head of KIST, stated, "The transition to AI in manufacturing starts with how well it can solve on-site problems. I hope this national vote serves as an opportunity to examine the necessity and potential of manufacturing AI, and we will support the application of excellent technologies in actual manufacturing environments."
