✦ AI Summary
Flitto and the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Association signed an MOU on AI-based multilingual interpretation and translation support to prevent industrial accidents among foreign workers. The deployment is based on Flitto's AI interpretation and translation solution, "Live Translation," and the companies plan to expand its use to group training, on-site training, and actual work procedures. They will build a multilingual DB of industrial safety terminology and gradually extend the service to the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Association's 28 branches nationwide.
Flitto has moved to apply its AI interpretation and translation technology to industrial safety sites. The goal is to ease language barriers for foreign workers and support communication during safety training and work processes. Flitto and the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Association said on the 9th that they had signed an MOU on AI-based multilingual interpretation and translation support aimed at preventing industrial accidents among foreign workers.
The agreement focuses on combining the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Association's safety and health education and technical capabilities with Flitto's AI interpretation and translation technology. Based on this, the two companies plan to build a multilingual delivery system for industrial safety information.
The deployment is based on Flitto's AI interpretation and translation solution, "Live Translation." "Live Translation" is already being used at safety training sites for foreign workers. After the agreement, the two companies plan to expand its use based on "Live Translation."
Their first priority is to build a real-time interpretation and translation system tailored to different training formats, such as group training and on-site training. Through this, they aim to help multinational workers confirm content in their native languages during simultaneous training sessions. The supported languages will be expanded mainly around the languages of major sending countries under the E-9 employment permit system.
The two companies will also work to build data that reflects specialized terminology used on industrial sites, and will create a multilingual DB of terms related to the Industrial Safety and Health Act, hazardous and risk factors, and work processes. The DB will be applied to AI interpretation and translation, with the goal of improving translation accuracy on site.
The scope of real-time interpretation and translation will expand beyond safety training to actual work procedures. By linking the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Association's AI computer management solution with Flitto's real-time interpretation and translation API, the companies will provide risk assessments, pre-work safety checks (TBM), safety work permits, and accident outcome notices in multilingual formats on the web and mobile.
Going forward, the two companies plan to enhance communication support functions between Korean and foreign workers based on on-site implementation results. They also plan to gradually expand the service to the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Association's 28 branches nationwide, and to jointly participate in government and local-government support projects aimed at preventing industrial accidents among foreign workers.
Lee Jeong-su, CEO of Flitto, said that by signing the MOU with the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Association, the company has expanded the scope of its AI interpretation and translation technology to core areas of industrial sites, including risk assessments and TBM. He added that Flitto will pursue the establishment of a site-tailored AI interpretation and translation model based on the association's network and industrial safety expertise, and that it aims to contribute to safety AX innovation through that effort.
