SK Hynix Collaborates with KAIST to Solve Semiconductor Challenges Using Artificial Intelligence

[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] SK Hynix is joining hands with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) to tackle semiconductor challenges through artificial intelligence (AI).

On the 12th, the two parties signed a remote video conference “AI Strategic Collaboration Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)” attended by Hyunwook Park, KAIST Vice President, Jaegyun Moon, Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering at KAIST, and Changrok Song, SK Hynix DT (Data Transformation) Manager.

Going forward, SK Hynix will provide data generated during the semiconductor manufacturing process to KAIST in real time via a cloud system, and KAIST will analyze this data through AI models to help predict and improve semiconductor quality.

To this end, SK Hynix established an “AI Collaboration Center Cloud System” at its headquarters in Icheon last March, and KAIST set up separate secure spaces at its Daejeon campus and the Seongnam-KAIST Next Generation ICT Research Center to allow access to the data.

Head Jaegyun Moon stated, “This is the first case of building a system that allows real-time access to data from a semiconductor company where security is paramount,” adding, “We will do our best not only in research but also in security management for the continuous development of the semiconductor industry.”

Manager Changrok Song said, “We have built a system that allows the latest AI algorithms developed by the university to be immediately applied in the industrial field,” and added, “We hope that many AI experts who can revolutionize the semiconductor industry will emerge through this.”
