Engineer Kim Tae-hoon is a former developer at OpenAI, a US AI research company co-founded by prominent figures from Silicon Valley, and has experience in developing ChatGPT. He has worked on various projects including reinforcement learning, robotics, and deep learning model optimization. Recently, he founded a startup based on mobile motion capture technology, providing real-time avatar creation solutions. There was significant competition in the industry to recruit Engineer Kim, but he ultimately decided to join Shift Up, judging that its direction was the most suitable.


Shift Up plans to strengthen its technological capabilities and expertise in the game AI field by recruiting Engineer Kim. The goal is to develop the AI of all characters and NPCs (Non-Player Characters) in games produced by Shift Up to provide a realistic and immersive gameplay environment.



Kim Hyung-tae, CEO of Shift Up, said, "To make in-game AI a technology that users find valuable, we have recruited Engineer Kim to focus on internalizing and advancing the technology," adding, "Along with this, we plan to continue ongoing industry-academic cooperation with POSTECH and KAIST, leaders in the field of artificial intelligence."
