"Manufacturing AI, Evaluated by the Public"... TIPA Holds Public Vote on 12 Pilot Projects

The Korea Technology and Information Promotion Agency for SMEs (TIPA) announced on November 12 that it will run the “Public Vote on AI Transforming Manufacturing Sites” event through November 22.

The event aims to introduce the public to examples of AI being used at small and medium-sized manufacturing sites and to incorporate public opinion into research and development (R&D) evaluations. Twelve proof-of-concept (PoC) pilot research projects under the “Development of Multi AI Agents Specialized for Small and Medium-Sized Manufacturing” program will take part in the vote, and the results will account for 10% of the final evaluation.

To support the event, TIPA has released videos showing how the 12 projects are being applied at manufacturing sites. After watching the videos, members of the public can vote for up to three projects that impressed them most. To participate, they can subscribe to TIPA’s official YouTube channel, watch the videos on the public vote information page, and submit their votes through Google Forms.

Kim Young-shin, president of TIPA, said, “We hope this public vote will provide an opportunity to consider both the need for and potential of AI in manufacturing. We will support outstanding technologies so they can be used at actual manufacturing sites.”
