[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] KT announced on the 8th that it has launched the artificial intelligence (AI) research and development portal 'Genie Labs' to create an open AI ecosystem.

KT developed Genie Labs to enable AI technologies developed through collaborations with various companies to be utilized across diverse industrial sectors. The Genie Labs website is composed of Tech, Data, and Eco zones, each providing information on AI technologies and application programming interfaces (APIs).

In the core Tech zone, users can explore and experience AI technologies developed by KT Convergence Technology Institute. Key AI technologies include Voice AI such as speech recognition and speech synthesis, natural language processing (NLP) AI that handles conversations and analyzes language, and Vision AI that analyzes images and videos.

In particular, KT showcases technologies related to ‘empathetic AI’ on Genie Labs, such as ‘counseling conversation summarization’ and ‘conversation styling.’ The ‘counseling conversation summarization’ extracts important points from conversations between counselors and customers and delivers them to the counselor, while ‘conversation styling’ is a technology where AI transforms the same response into various tones depending on the situation.

The Data Hub zone will provide AI training data collected from AI projects and businesses conducted by KT in the future. Anyone visiting Genie Labs can use the publicly available training data to create their own AI services.

The Eco zone consists of various AI APIs. It is a space where users can use APIs developed jointly by KT and AI startups and freely compare and test the quality of multiple APIs.

KT plans to continue introducing partnership cases with AI startups on Genie Labs and disclose AI technologies to build an open AI ecosystem where anyone can freely participate in AI research and development.
