Kakao Corporation revealed it has joined a consortium to help promote responsible and safe development and use of artificial intelligence. With its membership, it became the first South Korean firm to join this open-source AI Alliance.
Yonhap News Agency reported that this AI Alliance is led by major global tech companies such as Meta Corp., Intel Corp., and International Business Machines Corporation (IBM). It was set up to help establish a local AI ecosystem that is compliant with international standards.
About AI Alliance
Kakao confirmed on Friday, April 12, that it joined the AI Alliance, which widely supports open-source artificial intelligence research and development (R&D). Multiple organizations inaugurated this consortium in December of last year.
It now has more than 100 members, ranging from major tech companies to startups. Various universities and public institutes have also signed up with the group, which aims to scale up open innovation across the artificial intelligence technology space to enhance basic capabilities, security, safety, and trust in complex AI tech.
Kakao's Goal For Joining
Kakao has been diligently supporting the ethical development of the growing AI technology. It introduced the first tech ethics committee in July 2022 and published a report for the joint community last year. It also runs a team that works solely on the value of AI ethics, as per The Korea Herald.
Now, in becoming a member of the AI Alliance, Kakao Corp. said it will do its best to spread the global AI ethics standard in its home country while simultaneously recommending Korea's AI standards on the global stage.
"We will work together with the AI Alliance to establish an open AI ecosystem meeting the global standard for the open, responsible and safe development of AI technology," Kim Kyung Hoon, Kakao AI's safety head, said. "We will take on the social responsibility as a digital tech firm, and make continuous efforts to strengthen AI ethics."
