[Virtual Human 2.0] **LG AI Research Center Director Bae Bae-hoon “The era in which AI influences corporate competitiveness”**
Tilda, who surprised people by appearing at New York Fashion Week, is a good example of an evolved virtual human. The super-giant AI ‘Exa-One’ was installed to show a different dimension from the early virtual humans based on 3D graphics. Collaborating with humans, he created an image that was not in the world. Tilda was born. We asked the future of virtual humans to Bae Baek-hoon, director of the AI â??â??Research Institute.
“Tilda with Exa-One is man’s new partner”
“Even now, ‘Exa-One’ is becoming an expert that has evolved through reinforcement learning and continuous learning. With expert AI, the general public will be able to use super-giant AI to produce the same results that experts made.”
Director Bae said, evaluating the super-giant AI Exa-One as “a helper that makes human life more valuable.” The goal of exawon is to collaborate with humans in high value-added areas to achieve better results. LGAI researcher’s goal.
LGAI Research Institute in December 2020. It was launched as an AI think tank of The role is to develop a super-giant AI by investing 100 million dollars (about 130 billion won) for three years. at that time LG Director Bae, who led the AI â??â??promotion team at Science Park, took over as the first director. Director Bae is an applied research expert who has solved realistic AI problems such as vision recognition, voice, and language intelligence as a doctor of electronic engineering. SK Telecom and LG. He led the discovery of new technology business in telecommunication companies such as Uplus.
If the existing AI aims to improve productivity or operational efficiency instead of repetitive tasks, the super-giant AI is a kind of partner with a wide range of capabilities. Director Bae said, “The reason that ‘Tilda’, a virtual human equipped with Exa-One, made its debut on the stage of New York Fashion Week was to show the possibility of collaboration with humans. will continue,â? he said.
It is also the role of super giant AI to help human decision-making in specialized fields such as medical, legal, and finance. for teeth LGAI Research Institute is developing ‘Explainable AI’ technology. It is a technology that explains in a way that humans can understand where the results of the AI â??â??were derived and if there is an error, what is the cause.
The technical ‘chemistry’ with the metaverse (expanded virtual world) is also expected. Using super-giant AI, it is possible to realize a background that was not in the world in real time and to make an image that was not imagined into a character.
The competitiveness of future companies depends on the advancement of super giant AI
The reason why we are driving super-giant AI research and development is that we see it as a technology that will determine the competitiveness of a company. Director Bae said, “The sales gap between Amazon, which has rapidly introduced AI technologies such as customized product recommendations, and Macy’s, an offline retailer, is gradually widening. “he emphasized.
Furthermore, it is predicted that new industrial fields will be created. One example is the study of battery life prediction and process shortening using AI technology. Through this, improvement of the production cycle can be a catalyst for establishing a more eco-friendly process or opening a new market for recycled batteries.
Director Bae cited the prepared collaboration system as a factor that will determine the competitiveness of super giant AI. This is because, even if AI performance is secured, various competencies such as data provision, infrastructure construction, and solutionization are required for commercialization. Director Bae said, “The AI â??â??Research Institute plans to open an ‘AI Alliance’ in which a diverse group of companies participate and open a platform within the year that allows people without coding expertise or non-AI developers to utilize ExaOne’s functions. Because it requires a variety of expertise, we will continue to find partners and collaborate in more diverse fields such as pharmaceuticals, design, advertising, and public security.â?
