Global AI ecosystem, more than 60% focuses on AI models... ‘AI service’ new market emerges The global AI ecosystem has seen a significant focus on investment in AI model development, with over 60% of global AI investment going towards this area. However, it is expected that the focus will shift towards the AI service sector in the future. Major tech companies are dominating the AI model market, while smaller companies are gearing up to compete in the AI service market as generative AI technology advances. Companies are investing heavily in AI services specialized for various industries. In order for domestic AI companies to succeed globally, high-quality public data and relaxed data regulations are necessary for continued technological development. #AI #SouthKorea https://lnkd.in/gpvdEDUU

OpenAI President: "Developing AI worthy of a Pulitzer Prize"...Why? OpenAI Chairman Greg Brockman highlighted the imperative to improve AI's logic and reasoning during his keynote at the SK AI Summit in Seoul. He noted that current models, like GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, lack human-like creativity and inference. OpenAI aims to produce AI capable of achieving prestigious awards such as the Pulitzer Prize, indicating advancements in reasoning and creativity. Their latest model, OpenAI o1, signifies progress in logical reasoning, although it operates at a slower question-answering speed. Brockman discussed the timeline for achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), indicating that it will be a gradual process rather than an instantaneous breakthrough. He recognized the complexities of human thought and the limitations of existing AI models. OpenAI's focus remains on creating systems that can replicate human reasoning in specific domains, particularly in healthcare, where AI can synthesize diverse specialist knowledge to enhance problem-solving. Additionally, Brockman addressed the growth of AI data centers, citing the challenges of construction costs and energy supply, alongside the opportunities they create for employment. He emphasized the positive social potential of AI and the importance of fostering collective enthusiasm for its benefits. OpenAI envisions establishing dedicated AI data centers to help tackle global challenges. #AI #SouthKorea https://lnkd.in/gYk7yStr

Ministry of National Defense Creates AI Guidelines… Aiming for Safe Use of AI The Ministry of National Defense is developing guidelines for the safe utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) within the defense sector, anticipating an increase in AI applications. A research project titled 'Study on Defense Guidelines for Safe and Reliable Use of AI' has been commissioned to create and disseminate these guidelines, aimed at minimizing potential side effects and ensuring safe usage. The Ministry has already introduced 'Defense Generation AI', a conversational AI that processes military data for services such as specialized translations and document summarization. Training sessions for employees have been conducted to inform them about the reliability and biases of generative AI. The Ministry plans to go beyond one-time training by establishing comprehensive guidelines and will analyze domestic and international trends in defense AI usage to inform a long-term development plan and share best practices globally. #AI #SouthKorea https://lnkd.in/g2rZHVPr

Nekao AI strategy?... Killing two birds with one stone: profitability and service. The two largest platform companies in Korea, Naver and Kakao, are focusing on developing new businesses centered on artificial intelligence (AI) this year. Naver is expanding AI customers and services using Hyper Clova X, while Kakao plans to strengthen AI service efficiency through collaboration between AI research and service development organizations. Naver is investing tens of trillions in the AI business, while Kakao Brain spent 80 billion won in AI expenses last year. Both companies are working on enhancing their AI strategies to drive profitability and service improvements. #AI #SouthKorea https://lnkd.in/dz8Z_Wxd

FortiTumaru, Korea's first LLM reliability certification Generative AI startup 42Maru has received AI reliability certification for its Large Language Model (LLM), marking the first such recognition in South Korea. The 'AI Trustworthiness Certification (CAT)' system, managed by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Telecommunications Technology Association, evaluates AI systems for governance and trustworthiness attributes, enhancing overall AI reliability. The certification involved thorough assessments of 11 criteria, including risk management, governance, data usage, and attack robustness. Following an extensive review that began in August, 42Maru's LLM42 met the required standards, making it a pioneering case for generative AI certification in Korea. 42Maru is developing LLM42 to focus on specific industries while addressing common challenges faced by large language models. CEO Kim Dong-hwan emphasized the importance of this certification for promoting safe and transparent generative AI use and expressed a commitment to building a reliable AI ecosystem based on market trust. #AI #SouthKorea https://lnkd.in/gheWb68X
