During the visit, the Ministry of Science and ICT heard about SKAI’s AI and synthetic data technology development and commercialization status, held a Q&A session, and discussed support measures. SKAI presented the message that it creates, protects, and connects physical AI learning data.

In response, SKAI shared its key technologies, business progress, and technology development direction in the physical AI field. It explained how it converts enterprise data into knowledge that can be used by AI based on its domestic graph DBs, "Azens SQL" and "Azens Graph," and its knowledge platform, "Ontobia." It also introduced its management system for data generated with overseas tools in South Korea. SKAI also said it developed the graph engine "Apache AGE," donated it to the Apache Software Foundation, and that "Apache AGE" was deployed on Microsoft Azure.

Shin Jae-hyuk, CEO of SKAI World Wide, said that to maintain South Korea’s competitiveness in physical AI, a foundation is needed to produce and protect field data with domestic technology. He added that SKAI’s goal is to grow into a learning data supplier that generates data not found in the field, safely manages that data in South Korea, and supports the spread of national physical AI.

Lee Jae-cheol, CEO of SKAI Intelligence, said the company plans to produce synthetic data for scenes that are difficult to collect in the field and use reliable synthetic data. He said the goal is to contribute to the adoption of physical AI based on proprietary learning data at domestic manufacturing sites, and that the company plans to expand technology verified through global collaboration into domestic manufacturing sites.

Hancom is expanding the use of AI agents in document work in the construction and engineering sectors. In this regard, Hancom and Topec Engineering Architects & Engineers signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for cooperation on an agentic OS business.

The fact that the two companies signed the agreement was disclosed on the 4th. The agreement includes efforts to develop an AI agent specialized in engineering document writing based on real work environments and data.

The two companies plan to verify usability through a proof of concept (PoC) after development. Through this, they are concretizing the trend toward applying AI agents to construction and engineering document work.

Buzzni and Sahmyook University signed an MOU to create an environment for producing AI education content. On the 4th, Buzzni announced that it will provide its short-form AI technology to Sahmyook University’s educational setting.

Buzzni and Sahmyook University signed the MOU on October 30. Under the agreement, Sahmyook University will be responsible for promoting and supporting the use of BiskitAI among faculty members on campus, as well as hosting briefings and driving adoption across the university. Buzzni will provide BiskitAI, an AI-based short-form automatic generation service, and support feature development and improvements tailored to the education environment, as well as user guides and onboarding. This is the first case in which Buzzni’s in-house short-form AI technology has been provided to an educational setting.

Sahmyook University is using BiskitAI’s "long-to-short" function and the "middle-form" function, which automatically generates three outputs per video, to create pre-learning content on campus. Through this, the university is expanding the scope of support for faculty content creation beyond practice-oriented lectures to theory-based lecture videos. During the pilot deployment period, the university also requested additional functions needed on campus, and Sahmyook University and Buzzni are continuing their collaboration.

In the long term, Sahmyook University plans to expand the creation of short-form AI technology-based content to faculty, staff, and students on campus. Nam Sang-hyeop, co-CEO of Buzzni, said the MOU with Sahmyook University will serve as a starting point for expanding cooperation with various educational institutions and broadening the use of AI-based content creation technology.

IntelliVIX said on the 4th that its integrated safety AI platform, "GenAMS," has become the first in South Korea to receive the National Intelligence Service’s security function verification certificate for the "video information management and storage products" category in the video information processing equipment product lineup.
