K-AI Applied to Semiconductor, Nuclear Power, and Agricultural Sites: "A Sustainable Future Expected"

Case Studies from Four Companies Including SK Telecom and Upstage

As domestic artificial intelligence (AI) models are integrated into industrial sites such as semiconductor manufacturing and nuclear power plants, they are driving improvements in work efficiency.

On June 1, the Ministry of Science and ICT announced case studies on the use of K-AI models by four companies: SK Telecom, Motif Technologies, Upstage, and Naver Cloud.

SK Telecom is applying its proprietary AI model technology at SK hynix sites. The two companies are streamlining AI-based work support environments in the rapidly changing and security-sensitive semiconductor industry, using the K-AI model to address the unique work environments of the sector. Additionally, they are considering the introduction of K-AI in advanced semiconductor manufacturing sites. SK Telecom expects that AI will make a substantial contribution to improving actual productivity in semiconductor industry sites.

Motif Technologies, in collaboration with AI mobility specialist MobiRUS, is pursuing AI transformation (AX) in the agricultural machinery sector. By integrating a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model-based AI—which understands and connects visual and language information to actions—into autonomous agricultural machinery, their goal is to achieve work results that exceed the level of skilled workers, even in agricultural environments with many variable factors.

Upstage’s proprietary AI model "Solar" has been integrated into the AI assistant (agent) "Alli" provided by enterprise AI solution provider Allganize. Allganize supplies Alli to public institutions such as LH Corporation and KEPCO KDN, as well as to private companies including Hanwha Life Insurance, NH Investment & Securities, and Woori Investment & Securities. Allganize also provides its services to overseas companies in countries such as Japan and the United States, and is expected to contribute to the global expansion of Korean AI models.

Naver Cloud has built a generative AI platform dedicated to the nuclear power industry in collaboration with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, using its own AI model. This marks the world’s first application of generative AI in the operation and management of nuclear power plants. The Ministry of Science and ICT stated, "We hope that, as our AI models take root in the core sites of national energy security, they will help create a safe and sustainable energy future together."
