– Support artificial intelligence research by universities and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by opening a super-giant artificial intelligence model developed by a large domestic company
– Presenting a model for public-private cooperation and win-win cooperation with large and small businesses for the development of artificial intelligence in Korea

□ The Ministry of Science and ICT started a pilot project using the super-giant AI model so that universities and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could develop innovative AI services using the super-giant AI model.

□ Super-giant artificial intelligence is a next-generation artificial intelligence technology that greatly expands the scale of artificial intelligence to the scale of hundreds of billions to trillions of parameters by utilizing large-capacity data and supercomputing infrastructure.

ㅇ In May of 20.5, US Open AI unveiled GPT-3, the first ultra-large artificial intelligence model, and competition in the field began in earnest.

※ Cases: (Korea) Naver's hyperclova, (US) Google's Lambda, Microsoft's Megatron, (Medium) Huawei's Pangu Alpha, etc.

ㅇ Using a super-giant artificial intelligence model, it is possible to implement professional tasks such as article writing, literary and artistic creation, emotion analysis, and dialogue at a level comparable to that of humans.

□ The government’s plan to support giant artificial intelligence is to secure the leadership and competitiveness of domestic companies in artificial intelligence technology in the top-level strategic dialogue on artificial intelligence* (1st September '21.9.7, 2nd. It has been proposed as a way to activate the super-giant artificial intelligence ecosystem for

* Artificial intelligence representative (CEO-level) council (KAKAO, KT, LG, NAVER, SKT, Samsung Electronics, etc. participate) to share public-private AI investment vision and discuss strategic cooperation plans to lead the AI ​​and data economy

ㅇ Through the pilot project for using artificial intelligence, the government plans to support universities and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to use the super-giant artificial intelligence model for research and service development.

□ MSIT has been recruiting pilot service providers and users from time to time to utilize the super-large artificial intelligence model since May, and has so far selected Naver Cloud as the provider.

ㅇ NAVER CLOUD, the provider, will provide artificial intelligence functions such as conversation, Q&A, summary, text generation, and conversion in the form of an application program interface (API) by utilizing 'Hyperclova', a super-giant artificial intelligence. Is expected.

ㅇ Users are targeting domestic public/research institutes and universities (universities) that want to utilize super-giant artificial intelligence for their own research or service development.

□ MSIT Ryu Je-myung, Artificial Intelligence-based Policy Officer, said, “This pilot project is meaningful in that the government and the private sector cooperate to develop artificial intelligence in Korea to open the super-giant artificial intelligence developed by large corporations for research use by universities and SMEs. There is,” he emphasized.

ㅇ “We expect domestic companies and researchers who have experienced super-giant artificial intelligence to contribute to vitalizing the domestic super-giant artificial intelligence ecosystem,” he said.
