Saltlux Selected as Data Project Execution Company Worth 23.6 Billion KRW

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Artificial intelligence and big data specialist company Saltlux announced on the 29th that it has been selected as the lead and participating company for digital New Deal projects totaling 23.6 billion KRW, including ‘AI training data construction,’ ‘AI voucher,’ and ‘data voucher’ projects, following last year.

One of the representative tasks of the digital New Deal, the ‘Data Dam,’ is a project aimed at laying the foundation for revitalizing the data economy through the construction and opening of public data and creating a national-level AI industry ecosystem. Through the projects conducted last year, a large-scale dataset of 480 million cases, including Korean dialect corpora, was recently released to the private sector.

Saltlux, together with its subsidiaries, was selected for six fields in the ‘AI training data construction’ project hosted and organized by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Information Society Agency (NIA) as part of the Data Dam project. The fields include ▲topic-specific voice data ▲large-scale Korean language corpus data ▲multilingual spoken language translation corpus data ▲vehicle interior and exterior situation recognition data ▲coastal pollutant data ▲3D urban video data of Korean cities.

In addition, Saltlux was selected as a supplier for two AI voucher support projects by the National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA), including ‘Establishment of a full-cycle smart care system for thyroid dysfunction through AI solution adoption,’ and six data voucher support projects by the Korea Data Agency (Kdata), such as ‘AI care service for elderly living alone based on regional dialects.’ These projects will provide AI technologies and data applicable to various industries including healthcare, legal, distribution, public sector, and education.

Through participation in this digital New Deal project, Saltlux expects to contribute not only to the advancement of AI services for the public and the creation of new jobs but also to establish a virtuous cycle of data, thereby laying the foundation for digital transformation across industries.
