Naver Establishes AI Research Institute... Dedicated to Mid- to Long-Term Research
Expansion of Industry-Academia Collaborative Projects with Seoul National University, KAIST, and Others
[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-gyu Lee] Naver is expanding its mid- to long-term artificial intelligence (AI) technology research organization and establishing it as a separate research institute.
On the 7th, Naver announced plans to open the "Naver AI Lab," which will conduct in-depth research on mid- to long-term advanced AI technologies, and to make large-scale investments in AI research.
The Naver AI Lab is a new research institute that separates and expands the existing CLOVA research organization, which previously studied advanced AI technologies, from CLOVA CIC. It will conduct research on various innovative mid- to long-term advanced technologies, including next-generation common image and video recognition technologies, next-generation large-scale language models, and new AI learning methods.
Since Naver has separated the mid- to long-term AI technology research organization from CLOVA CIC to establish the Naver AI Lab as an independent organization, it expects the scope of AI research to expand further. With the establishment of the AI Lab, Naver plans to accelerate its investment in technology research and aims to raise this level even higher in the future.
The results of research conducted at the Naver AI Lab will be shared with other AI research organizations within Naver, such as Naver Labs and CLOVA, to enhance research synergy, and will also be applied to various services including CLOVA and search.
Ha Jung-woo, the lead responsible for the Naver AI Lab, said, "The Naver AI Lab will focus more on impactful mid- to long-term advanced research and provide innovative value and services to users through close collaboration with CLOVA and Naver Labs."
