GIST Collaborates with MIT on Joint Research in Artificial Intelligence Field

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] GIST (Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, President Kim Ki-seon) recently signed a research agreement for international joint research in the field of artificial intelligence with the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and announced on the 18th that it has finalized six research projects to be conducted over five years.

Through this agreement, GIST and MIT plan to promote the advancement of national science and technology and enhance the research capabilities of both institutions in the field of artificial intelligence by conducting joint AI-based research and personnel exchanges.

As part of this research agreement and the selection of joint research projects, the two institutions will carry out joint research worth 20 billion KRW over five years until 2025 as part of an international AI cooperation project.

They also plan to focus on nurturing AI specialists through personnel exchanges involving postdoctoral researchers and graduate students participating in the research projects.

Kim Ki-seon, President of GIST, stated, “The international cooperation project with MIT is expected not only to share excellent research know-how in the field of artificial intelligence but also to greatly contribute to the development of AI talent,” adding, “We will do our best to cooperate to maximize the synergy effect for creative and innovative research by both institutions.”

Meanwhile, the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) was established in 2003 through the merger of the MIT Computer Science Laboratory and the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and it boasts the largest scale among single research laboratories within MIT.
