KT held an opening ceremony for the 'AI Tech Center' at the KT Convergence Technology Institute on the 6th.

The 'AI Tech Center' is an open AI development platform built by KT based on the nation's top-tier AI development infrastructure, including supercomputers, to lead the AI market. It will serve as KT's AI hub, leading the intelligentization of media, networks, and platforms for KT and its partners.

The research space of the AI Tech Center consists of an 'AI Craft Shop' for research and collaboration on artificial intelligence technology using KT's AI infrastructure, an 'Experience Space' for benchmarking domestic and international devices and services, an 'Academy Lounge' for AI education, and a 'Voice Performance Evaluation Room' for voice recording and testing, thereby enhancing the AI research and development capabilities of KT and its partners and supporting the development of AI services.

Among these, the 'AI Craft Shop' was largely composed of the 'Eco Craft Shop' and the 'Deep Learning Craft Shop'. The Eco Craft Shop is a space where partner businesses can develop services using the GiGA Genie service SDK, voice/conversation/video SDK, etc., and the Deep Learning Craft Shop is a space where AI engine algorithms are researched and performance is improved based on AI infrastructure to foster mutual growth with partner companies.

In addition, KT has established a 'GPU Computing Cluster' at its AI Tech Center to provide a top-tier deep learning infrastructure. Computational power capable of processing massive amounts of data is essential for artificial intelligence and deep learning research, and the 'GPU Computing Cluster' at KT's AI Tech Center consists of 720,000 GPU cores, boasting the highest level of GPU computing power in the domestic industry dedicated solely to AI research.

Kim Jin-han, Senior Vice President and Head of the AI Tech Center at KT Convergence Technology Institute, said, “We will ensure that the KT AI Tech Center becomes an advanced base for new AI services and research to lead domestic and international AI technology,” adding, “Going forward, through the AI Tech Center, we will accelerate the intelligence of GiGA Genie and contribute to the intelligence of KT’s platform business.”
