South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT said on Sunday that domestic artificial intelligence (AI) models are expanding their reach into broadcast content production, public administration and domestic semiconductor infrastructure. It said use cases are widening from automated broadcast editing to local government administrative AI transformation and building a sovereign AI ecosystem.

NC AI is working with MBC to introduce multimodal AI technology to broadcast content post-production processes. Using advanced multimodal technology such as vision-language models (VLM), it aims to ease manual bottlenecks in editing and subtitle insertion and shorten the overall workflow. Production teams will be able to focus their capabilities on creative areas such as planning and directing as AI takes over repetitive tasks.

Upstage listed its "public AI workspace" on the Public Procurement Service's digital service mall and was selected as the first supplier of a public-sector generative AI service. It is a solution that integrates its Solar model and optical character recognition (OCR)-based document-processing AI technology into an agent. It supports various formats such as Hangul (hwp), Word and PDF and is expected to contribute to productivity gains across public-sector work where document tasks account for a large share.

Ko Hyun-woong (고현웅), a model tech manager at Upstage, said, "AI is already rapidly changing the way we work and industry standards." He said, "Through the development of global-level AI models, we will lead the AI transformation of domestic companies and strive to create practical innovation and value in a range of industrial sites."

KT is pushing ahead with a project to build a "Gyeonggi generative AI platform" that introduces its proprietary AI model "Mideum 2.0" at the Gyeonggi provincial government. Based on various administrative information such as administrative documents, work guidelines and legal materials, it provides functions for drafting documents, organizing materials, and searching and analyzing information. It was built as an open platform system to allow flexible application of various AI models. Gyeonggi Province also obtained certification from the Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA) with this platform, receiving objective verification of reliability and safety.

Park Cheol-gi (박철기), head of KT's Corporate Customer Business Team 2, said, "As the administrative sector requires a high level of public interest and accountability, it is most important to create an environment in which AI can support work based on trustworthy information." He said, "We hope this project will not only innovate administrative work but also raise the quality of administrative services that residents can feel, and serve as an opportunity to expand the use of AI in the public sector."

SK Telecom and Rebellions have taken another step forward in building a sovereign AI ecosystem. SK Telecom successfully ran its proprietary AI model "A.X K1" on servers equipped with Rebellions' domestic AI semiconductor "Rebel 100." The companies said it proved that a super-large model with more than 500B parameters can be operated on domestic AI semiconductor infrastructure. The two companies are already operating large-scale AI services such as A.Dot call recording summaries and the AI animal video diagnostic service "XCaliber" on Rebellions NPUs. They are also jointly developing an AI server that combines Arm CPUs and Rebellions NPUs and conducting real-world verification at SK Telecom data centers.
